Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 192 The Weird Village

Diao Chan's graceful figure leads the way, and Liu Xie, who is walking behind Diao Chan, seems to be looking at an incomparably beautiful scenery.Especially when the Huoshaoyun in the sky gradually infiltrated the earth and coated Diao Chan with a golden halo, Liu Xie seemed to be walking in a colorful oil painting.

However, when the two of them walked together and were far away, even those iron eagle swordsmen had no place to hide, so they had to show up and follow them.Liu Xie couldn't help but beat his sore calf, looked at the sun in the sky, and said to Diaochan in front, "Where are you taking us? If it's past the curfew, I don't want to be Lord Guangwu. You know, Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, is a master who doesn't take hard things."

What Liu Xie said was that Emperor Guangwu went out for a hunting trip, but he came back late.The curfew time was up, and the city gates were closed tightly. Despite Liu Xiu's lip service, the city gate order would not let Liu Xiu enter the city. As a result, Liu Xiu had no choice but to squat outside the city overnight.Now, it is Huangfusong's nephew Huangfu Li who is responsible for controlling the security of Gyeonggi. That young man has learned a lot about Huangfusong's uprightness.

"What are you afraid of? A dozen big men, are you afraid that I, a woman, will eat you?" Diao Chan turned her head with a trace of disdain, smiled at Bai Meisheng, and deliberately moved closer to Liu Xie, blinking and said: " Even after the curfew time, you can't be Lord Guangwu, if you send a beggar chicken to Lao Zou, who is guarding the city gate, then everything will be settled?"

Speaking of Beggar Chicken, Liu Xie thought of Huangfusong again. It is said that although Huangfusong was recuperating on the hospital bed, although his improvement was still not good, his heart knot was opened.The only thing he couldn't forget was the half beggar chicken that Liu Xie gave him at the beginning, clamoring that if he could eat another bite before he died, his life would not be wasted.

However, with Huangfusong yelling like this, Liu Xie really didn't dare to do it to Huangfusong.Huangfusong suffered from severe arrow sores during the battle in Chang'an, he must not eat such greasy hair.Liu Xie is not Zhu Yuanzhang, who did the thing of hiding all the birds, and specially sent a steamed goose to the founding general Xu Da, causing a hero who made great contributions to the country to die in anger.

Fortunately, as soon as these sentiments arose, Liu Xie raised his eyes and saw a black shadow suddenly appearing in the distance, which looked like a village.Liu Xie frowned and looked at it for a while. He was not some emperor who lived deep in the palace, not to mention familiar with the environment in the suburbs of Chang'an.But he can still be sure that earlier, this place was uninhabited.

However, seeing that Diao Chan didn't explain, Liu Xie didn't ask any further questions.

Being with such a mysterious woman is sometimes tiring.But whoever is the first to be soft on something that can be said clearly in one sentence, just to pretend, can only hold it in his heart and pretend to be mysterious.

Before entering, Liu Xie found that this village was not like an ordinary village with one building in the east and one building in the west.Diao Chan walked to the village gate, stopped and said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, if you trust your servants, please let these guards back down."

Liu Xie didn't say anything, just waved his hand as he said.Shi A on the side was a little worried, but when he saw Liu Xie's unquestionable eyes, his body shook suddenly, and he retreated respectfully.

Seeing this scene, Diao Chan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and didn't say anything else.Then, as if he had a plan in mind, he walked straight towards the village without detours.Liu Xie Liu Xie followed behind, wondering in his heart.

Diao Chan led Liu Xie around seven times and eight times, and came to the depths of an alley.There are low thatched huts on both sides of the place, and at the end is a large courtyard with earthen walls. The door looks simple, but the chai gate is quite unique. Liu Xie tilted his head and thought for a while, and then suddenly realized a little bit.This meticulous style is completely feminine.If it were a man, he would definitely not have such delicate thoughts.

Diao Chan stopped in front of this compound, patted the chai gate, and soon a woman came out of it.

Liu Xie looked at the woman, vaguely familiar, but couldn't remember where he met her.However, judging from her charming appearance, she definitely shouldn't be this kind of village woman among the chaimen commoners.Even though she is now wearing a coarse cloth hairpin, her delicate hands are beginning to become rough.

When the woman saw Liu Xie, the expression on her face was exactly the same as Liu Xie's, but in the end she didn't seem to recognize Liu Xie either.After being slightly startled, she gently asked Diao Chan, "Why did you bring a man in?"

"What kind of man, he's just a child." Diao Chan saw the strangeness of the two of them, but still said it lightly.

The village woman didn't seem to agree with Diao Chan's explanation, but she didn't want to be against Diao Chan either, and then she opened the firewood door completely, turned her back slightly to Liu Xie, and expressed her welcome: "Everyone who lives here is afraid of men. In the place, I still look forward to Mr. Haihan."

As for the action just now, Liu Xie was very sure that the village woman in front of her must have come from a high-ranking family.Ordinary village women, when they see a young man dressed in brocade and satin like themselves, usually stay away with fear.But she's obviously used to seeing nobles like Liu Xie, and she also knows the rules and etiquette among big families very well.

"I'm the one who came here for no reason, so I'm bothering you." Liu Xiexi also thought about the village woman and bowed back.But just after he spoke, the village woman's face changed suddenly, and she exclaimed: "Are you the emperor of the Han Dynasty?"

Liu Xie was surprised, he didn't know whether to admit it or deny it, so he could only focus on Diao Chan.But Diao Chan didn't take it seriously, and said to the village woman: "What kind of emperor is not an emperor, he is just an ordinary son of a noble family."

After all, no matter how embarrassed Liu Xie and the village woman were, they strode into the courtyard.Liu Xie didn't know what Diao Chan's intentions were, so he could only keep up with her, while the village woman walked behind Liu Xie cautiously, not daring to be as presumptuous as Diao Chan.

The three of them entered the yard, and several children suddenly ran out from the nearby hut.The oldest of these children was only ten years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old. When they saw guests coming, they all ran out to watch the excitement.

Liu Xie was startled, and felt that the village was very strange.These children are not much different from those wandering orphans in Chang'an, they are also sallow and emaciated.The only thing that makes them different from those children is that although their clothes are plain, they are all very clean.

Diao Chan directly led Liu Xie into a wooden hut in the middle, and the village woman hurriedly brought two bowls of freshly boiled hot water and two pieces of dry dough.It could be seen that even though she already knew Liu Xie's identity, that was all she could do in a hurry.Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't bear the doubts in his heart anymore, and asked Diao Chan, "What is the purpose of you bringing me here?"

"Didn't Your Majesty want to know the source of my information?" Diao Chan pointed to the few heads clustered in front of the low windows, smiled and said, "These are the sources of my information, don't look at them as children, But go out all day and hang out with those lonely beggars in Chang'an, and you can also find out information about many noble families."

Liu Xie nodded, he did not object to this explanation.Just like Sherlock Holmes, he once bought the waifs from the bottom of a city to act as his eyeliner.These lonely beggars may seem inconspicuous, but they are spread all over Chang'an City. If you want to inquire about some news or find someone, they are undoubtedly the cheapest and most effective channel.

However, this does not explain why Diao Chan can still know the news of the princes in the Kanto and the Yellow Turban bandits.After all, no matter how long the hands of these lonely beggars are, they can't reach the Kanto area. What's more, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the wars are frequent, and the news is often easily cut off.

"I believe in these, but I'm afraid that these alone are not enough?" Liu Xie picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in hot water, and stuffed it into his mouth.The water has a hint of sweetness, as if it was boiled with grass roots.

Originally, he did this to let Diao Chan know that he is not an emperor who can't bear hardships.But Diao Chan didn't appreciate it at all, snatched the bread from Liu Xie, tore it into several pieces angrily, and threw it out of the window: "You are not short of food and drink in the palace, what are you pretending to be here? "

At this time, when the children outside the window saw the noodles, they burst into a series of joyous laughter, coaxing them to disappear from the window sill.Liu Xie could see that those children did not fight over the few slices of bread, but the older ones took the initiative to feed them to the younger children.

Liu Xie looked at this scene with a bitter face, turned around and glanced at the village woman who had been silently by his side all the time, suddenly remembered this village woman, pointed at her and blurted out: "You, you are A singer in Dong Zhuo's family!"

The village woman's expression changed suddenly, but when she thought of Liu Xie's identity, she still bowed slightly and replied, "I never thought that Your Majesty would still remember such servants as concubines..."

Hearing that the village woman admitted her identity, Liu Xie's face suddenly became very ugly.Because he suddenly understood why Diao Chan knew the news about the princes of the Guandong and the remnants of gold!

But at this moment, Liu Xie's heart constricted violently, the pain made him unable to breathe.He finally began to understand why the smile was so weird and heavy when Diao Chan asked him if he wanted to know this.At the same time, he also understood the reason why this village woman didn't want strange men to come to this village...
