Chapter 179

The next morning, Liu Xiu got up early, washed and ate breakfast, then took wenpin out of the restaurant. Today is October 21. It's seven days before the wedding. But October 25th is the birthday of Wu Guotai, and Liu Xiu must begin to prepare.

Two people take carriage, inquiring to go to market line.

When they came to a jade shop, Liu Xiu and wenpin went in. Liu Xiu didn't think about what to give Wu Guotai as a birthday present. When he came across the jade, he came in to have a look.

In the shop, jade bracelets, jade Ruyi, or jade Buddhas are put in order.

Liu Xiu carefully selected, but also in the constant choice.

After all, this is the first time to see Wu Guotai. Liu Xiu is not willing to lose Jingzhou's face.

Liu Xiu looked carefully, picked and picked, and finally chose a jade Buddha. This jade Buddha is a Maitreya with a big belly. It's polished very well and its workmanship is very fine.

The shopkeeper saw Liu Xiu staring at the Jade Buddha and knew that the buyer was coming. He immediately came up to greet him.

"Young master, this jade Buddha is the best in the shop. It's not only good for selling pictures and moral, but also because after dark, as long as there is light shining, there is a Buddha word in the body of the Jade Buddha. This is the strangest part. "

The shopkeeper was not distinguished by Liu Xiu. He took the Buddha statue and took Liu Xiu to the back yard. Came to the room, closed the window, and then lit the oil lamp. Light down, the Buddha's chest, a Buddha word looming out. This Buddha character is formed by the variegation of jade inside the Buddha statue, which forms the Buddha character very skillfully.

in this way, the value of the Buddha statue is virtually increased.

Liu Xiu looked at it with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

The shopkeeper looked at Liu Xiu and said in a low voice, "young master, I've seen the Buddha statue. There's another person who wants to see you. Please move a little. Then, this statue of Buddha will be given to you for free. "

Wenpin Wenyan stands in front of Liu Xiu to protect his safety.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "please rest assured, general Zhongye. I have no malice towards you. Someone just wants to see you."

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed even more. Unexpectedly, he met this kind of thing in the market. It seems that the water in Jiangdong is more turbid and deeper than he imagined.

"Lead the way!"

Liu Xiu waved. He also wanted to see the people behind the scenes.

"Please follow me!"

The shopkeeper took Liu Xiu and wenpin out of the room, bypassed the front yard, entered the backyard, and came to a house. Standing outside, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and said, "young master, Mr. Liu is here."

"Please

The voice in the room, clear voice with a trace of hoarseness.

The shopkeeper pushed open the door, waved his hand and said, "two, please come inside." When Liu Xiu and wenpin enter the room, the shopkeeper closes the door and quietly waits in the yard.

In the room sat a young man in his early twenties. He was wearing a black robe and a silk scarf, tasting tea. He is not old, but his eyes show, but has a different age of calm and vicissitudes.

This man is not simple!

Liu Xiu saw the youth's first sight and drew a conclusion in his heart.

It's extraordinary to look at people and their temperament.

"Mr. Liu, please sit down!"

When the young man spoke, his temperament was as gentle as jade, giving people the feeling of a gentleman.

Liu Xiu stared at the young man, but he felt very familiar with him. He must have met the people in front of him, but he had no impression. All of a sudden, Liu Xiunao suddenly said with a smile: "yesterday afternoon, you participated in welcoming me. You also participated in the evening banquet. It's just that you haven't spoken all the time and are sitting at the end of the table. "

There were too many people yesterday. The people Liu Xiu knew most were Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Yu fan, bu Gu, Ling Tong and others. As for many other people, Liu Xiu was not familiar with them, but he was familiar with them.

If you don't impress, you will soon forget.

With a look of admiration, the young man raised his mouth and said, "young master Xiu never forgets, which is admirable. Last night, I didn't speak. Unexpectedly, master Xiu recognized me. If you had known that, you should have covered your face. "

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "since you are not masked, you naturally have the strength to be masked. But, sir, you are waiting for me in your room. Are you so sure that I will come? "

The young man looked confident and said, "last night, Zhuge Jin went to see Mr. Liu. When he heard about Zhuge Liang last night, he would certainly ask about Zhuge Liang. "

"Mr. Liu was born in Jingzhou and is familiar with Zhuge Liang."

"After you tell Zhuge Jin about Zhuge's family, Zhuge Jin will tell you about the 25th birthday party. When Mr. Liu knows the birthday of his father's mother, he must prepare a gift. "

"The biggest market in Wu county is in this area."

The young man said with a smile: "my Lord's mother likes to worship Buddhism. I'm sure Mr. Liu will come to visit us. And even if you don't come to the jade shop, you can easily find Mr. Liu in this area. So I just have to wait. No, Mr. Liu is really here. My judgment is correct. "When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his expression became solemn. From this trace, the other party even infers his whereabouts. If the other party's intention is really wrong, Liu Xiu will surely fall into ambush.

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, arched his hand and said, "may I ask your name?"

The young man replied, "Jiangdong Lu is inferior to Lu Boyan!"

"Lu Xun, Lu Boyan?" Liu Xiu was surprised that the young man in front of him was Lu Xun. This general, who burned hundreds of thousands of Liu Bei's troops, took the initiative to find him.

Lu Xun said, "does Mr. Liu know Lu Xun, too?"

Liu said: "who doesn't know about the Lu family in Jiangdong? However, in the past, sun CE led the army to conquer the Lujiang River, resulting in the death of Lu Kang and heavy losses to the Lu family. But it's really sad that the Lu family finally became an official of the sun family. "

Lu Xun's eyes were cold.

Lu Xun has always remembered his hatred for the past.

Lu Xun's father died early. When he was young, he followed his uncle Lu Kang with his younger brother Lu Mao. Sun CE attacked Lujiang and Lujiang County fell into war. Lu Kang vowed to defend Lujiang, but sent his son Lu Ji, Lu Xun and Lu Mao back to their hometown in Wuxian County, Wujun county. As a result, Lu Xun and others survived, but most of the Lu family in Lujiang County died in the war.

After Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, he attached great importance to the Lu family, but he could not let Lu Xun down.

Liu Xiu looked at Lu Xun's words, saw the hatred in his eyes, knew that Lu Xun might be a breakthrough, and said slowly, "brother Boyan, take this opportunity to see me. What's the matter?"

Lu Xun said: "to find Mr. Liu is to tell you a piece of news."

"What's the news?" Liu Xiu asked.

Lu Xun said: "on October 28, after you meet, Sun Quan will not let you go. He will hold a wedding for you in Jiangdong and detain you. At the same time, Sun Quan is going to attack Changsha County. "

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his expression became dignified.

Wenpin stares at Lu Xun, his eyes are very serious. The news is too important.

Liu xiudao: "brother Boyan, are you sure of the news?"

Lu Xun took a sip of tea and said, "if you want to believe it, it's true. If you don't want to believe it, it's fake. I'm just telling you the news. The rest is up to you. "

Liu Xiu changed his words and asked, "brother Boyan, did you ever want to be an official in Jingzhou?"

"Does Jingzhou work for Liu Biao?" Lu Xun shook his head and said, "it's hard for Liu Biao to guard Jingzhou, the dog guarding his home."

"Not for Jingzhou, but for me," Liu said

Lu Xun laughed, and said in a loud voice: "young master Xiu has great ambition, but there is a saying that his heart is higher than heaven, and his life is thinner than paper. Not to mention that xiugongzi is only the magistrate of a county, and the dilemma you are facing now may make you trapped in the shoal. If you have any idea, let's wait until you get out of the present predicament. "

After listening, Liu Xiu understood. Now to attract Lu Xun, his strength is not enough.

Liu Xiu got up and said, "thank you for reminding me. I'll keep it in mind and say goodbye."

After that, Liu Xiu left the room with wenpin. When the shopkeeper in the yard saw Liu Xiu, he quickly welcomed him, handed the wrapped Jade Buddha to Liu Xiu, and took Liu Xiu back to the front yard as if nothing had happened.
