Chapter 69

When Deng Zhan worked for Liu Xiu, he had other thoughts.

There are two reasons why he promised Liu Xiu.

First, Deng Zhan stayed in Xu county. There was no place to show his talent, and no one looked up to him. In this case, following Liu Xiu's side can solve the problem of food and clothing for the time being. Second, we can observe Liu Xiu's ability closely. If Liu Xiu has outstanding ability, he will continue to be loyal to Liu Xiu. If Liu Xiu is incompetent, he will definitely choose to give up.

When Deng Zhan was weighing up, the news that Liu Xiu was writing poems in Sikong mansion came out from inside and outside Xu county.

News after news shocked Deng Zhan.

Walking on the road, everyone talks about Liu Xiu, and countless people talk about Liu Xiu's poems.

When Deng Zhan saw this behind the scenes, his careful thinking was directly thrown out of the sky, and he was determined to follow Liu Xiu.

In the study, Liu Xiu and Deng Zhan sit opposite each other.

Liu Xiu looked at Deng Zhan and said, "brother Deng, you have been in Xu county for several years. Are you familiar with some local snakes in Xu county?"

"Familiar!"

Deng Zhan nodded. When he was in Xu county, he had a good relationship with Rangers in Xu county and some local people.

Liu Xiu said, "now, you do one thing for me."

"What's the matter?" Asked Deng Zhan.

Liu Xiu had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "find someone to find out who Jiangdong envoy Zhang Zhen brought to Xu county. What about their martial arts?"

He also knows something about Liu Zhen.

There are two in Jiangdong. The first is Zhang Zhao, and the second is Zhang Dan.

Zhang is outstanding in both his statecraft and strategic planning. It is a great threat to Jingzhou for such people to stay in Jiangdong.

In order to relieve the danger of Jingzhou, Liu Xiu had to do some things.

Deng Zhan said in a deep voice: "young master, if you want to inquire about the news, you must use a lot of relationships, which will cost a lot."

Liu Xiu waved and said, "money is not a problem!"

Immediately, Liu Xiu took out a three inch high sandalwood box and handed it to Deng Zhan. He said, "inside the box, there are some jade jewelry. You can exchange it for money and ask for information."

"Gudong!"

Deng Zhan opened the box and was shocked to see the jade and jewels inside.

There are not many jewels in the box, but they are very valuable.

Deng Zhan looked shocked and asked, "are you not afraid that I will run away when you give me such precious jewels?"

He didn't know that Liu Xiu and he were friends in his last life, and he knew his temperament well. In Deng Zhan's opinion, it's amazing that Liu Xiu has given him so much trust in just a few days. Deng Zhan's heart is broken by his courage.

Liu xiudao: "I believe in brother Deng's character. Since I believe in him, I will not doubt him."

Deng Zhan took a deep breath and said, "don't worry, I will finish the task and never let you down."

Liu Xiu's trust moved Deng Zhan.

You treat me as a scholar, and I will repay you as a scholar!

At this time, Deng Zhan had only one idea in his mind to complete the task Liu Xiu had given him.

Deng Zhan changed his mind and asked, "it must take some time to verify the information. When will you get the news at the latest? "

Liu Xiu replied, "before the Jiangdong mission leaves Xu county, you must give me complete information. So, your time should be enough. But the sooner the news, the better. "

"I see!" Deng Zhan got up and said, "young master, I'll be busy now."

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Xiu waved and stopped Deng Zhan from leaving.

Deng Zhan sat down again and asked, "what else can I do for you, young master?"

Liu Xiu called out: "Deng AI!"

"Here it is

Outside the study, Deng AI's voice immediately remembered.

Deng AI stood outside the door. He quickly put away his book and carried it on his back. Then he took out the pebbles from his mouth, pushed the door open and went into the study.

From Jiyang to Xuxian, Deng AI was able to eat enough and no longer worried about his livelihood. He also had a little meat on his body and no wax yellow on his face.

Deng AI is young and likes reading.

Especially in Liu Xiu's side, there is no lack of books, and Pang Degong is always carrying a book.

Besides what Deng AI should do, he should read books.

After a few days, his stuttering has been alleviated, but his pronunciation is not clear.

Standing in the study, Deng AI saluted and said, "young master!"

Liu Xiu nodded and then said, "brother Deng, this is Deng AI, a native of Jiyang County, Nanyang County. His surname is also Deng. I don't know if it has anything to do with you?"

Deng Zhan shook his head and said, "I'm from Nanyang County, but I'm not from Jiyang."

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I asked brother Deng AI to teach him swordsmanship. I don't know if you want to?"

Deng Zhan stares at Deng AI with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.After all, his swordsmanship has a teacher's inheritance. If he teaches it to Deng AI, it's equivalent to accepting apprentices.

Excited, Deng AI knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "disciple Deng AI, meet Master. Please don't worry, master. I will try my best to practice martial arts. "

This time, Deng Zhan is even more difficult.

Deng AI, the child, knelt down. It was a plan to cut first and then play. It was hard for him to refuse.

Liu Xiu has a smile on his face. Deng AI is intelligent.

Kneel down at the right time.

Liu Xiu went on to say, "brother Deng, little AI likes reading books, and he likes reading military tactics. I take him with me to cultivate him. In the future, Deng AI will become an official. The reason why Deng AI was asked to be a teacher was to hope that he could protect himself. "

Deng opened his eyes.

If Deng AI is just a schoolboy, Deng Zhan doesn't have much thought to teach.

However, what Liu Xiu meant was to cultivate Deng AI. In this way, Deng AI will surely be Liu Xiu's confidant in the future. Now he takes Deng AI as his apprentice, which is further closer to Liu Xiu.

With a smile on his face, Deng Zhan looked at Deng AI and said, "Deng AI, it must be boring and hard to practice martial arts under my door. Can you do that? If you can't do it, it's like you didn't kneel down to worship your master, and I'll teach you to practice martial arts. "

Deng AI knelt on the ground motionless, said: "master, disciples can endure hardship, can bear boring."

Deng Zhan nodded and said, "get up. From tomorrow, you will practice martial arts with me."

"Thank you, master!"

Deng AI stood up with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was happy for Deng AI. Deng AI is less than ten years old now. After he followed Liu Xiu, his own development trajectory must have changed in history.

Although Deng AI's hard work and spirituality exist, Liu Xiu can't guarantee that Deng AI will be as brilliant as in history.

What Liu Xiu can do is to try his best to cultivate Deng AI.

Liu Xiu has plenty of books to read.

If you want to practice martial arts, Deng Zhan is a master of swordsmanship. Let alone make Deng AI's swordsmanship peerless, at least he can protect himself.

Liu Xiu, with a serious face, said, "Xiao AI, you should be a teacher one day and a father all your life. If you worship Deng Zhan as a teacher, you should treat him like a father. Do you understand?"

Deng AI nodded and said, "don't worry, young man. I understand."

Liu Xiu waved Deng Zhan and Deng AI back. He sat alone in his study and thought about other things in Xu county.

This time he was sent to Xuxian county. In Sikong mansion, Liu Xiu was in the limelight, but it was only literary talent. Liu Xiu is not satisfied with this. He has to do more to prove his ability.

All this needs Liu Xiu's own consideration.
