Chapter 007 Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger
"Visiting friends!" Tu Niuer waved his arm indifferently, and turned sideways and was about to squeeze through Li Zheng. Li Zheng chuckled, grabbed Tu Niuer's collar, and kicked Tu Niuer out of the inner door.
Tu Niuer fell to the ground with his feet facing the sky, and his butt almost turned into eight petals, grinning in pain. He got up and cursed: "Old Killer, why did you attack me? If you have the ability, come out, I will bet on life and death with you."
Li Zheng didn't mind at all and curled his lips disdainfully. "Just as your trick, I bet on life and death with you, wouldn't it be a pity for myself? Judging from your skills, I just learned some tricks on the streets, which is not enough for me to hit with one hand. When you have learned martial arts seriously, it's not too late to come to compete with me."
Tu Niuer got up and was about to rush up again, but was stopped by Liang Xiao. Liang Xiao bowed and bowed and bowed: "This uncle, we are indeed friends here, please make some convenience."
"Who are you visiting?" Li was drooping her eyelids and asked casually, but she still blocked the door without any intention of giving in. "Report your name and residence."
"We are from Qingyunli. My name is Liang Xiao, and his name is Tu Niuer. I came to the stone to find a man named Huansheng. I don't know if the old man can know."
"Huan Sheng?" Li was pondering for a moment, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Liang Xiao and Tu Niuer again. "You have found the wrong place. There is no one named Huan Sheng here, and there is not even one with the surname Huan."
"Ah?" Tu Niuer was disappointed and pulled Liang Xiao and was about to leave. "Let's go, go back and ask if he was wrong."
Liang Xiao opened Tu Niu'er's hand and smiled even more. "This old man, judging from your skills just now, you should have been with the army, right?"
Li Zheng nodded but didn't say anything. He just stared at Liang Xiao. The smile on his face disappeared, and a little uneasy appeared in his eyes. These eyes fell into Liang Xiao's eyes. When he mentioned Huan Sheng just now, he felt that Li Zheng's expression was wrong, and now he felt that there was something wrong with this Li Zheng.
"Yes, I've been in the army for more than ten years and just retired the year before."
Liang Xiaogong bowed: "I wonder where the old man is serving, the capital or the border?"
Lin was staring at Liang Xiao for a while, and suddenly laughed. "A little trick, you are still talking in a bit orderly manner, but why don't you even have this knowledge? How could the subjects of the vassal state go to the capital and borders? I'm guarding the border in Kuaiji."
"I'm afraid it's wrong." Liang Xiao also smiled, with three points of cunning. "In my opinion, the old man is not in Kuaiji, and there are no cavalry in Kuaiji." Liang Xiao said, pointing to the slightly sloppy leg.
The cheeks in his right hand trembled, his smile was a bit fake, but he looked a little ferocious. "I am a general's personal guard and often ride a horse at the attendant."
Liang Xiao changed his sentence: "I have been in the army for more than ten years, my limbs are intact and I don't even have a scar on my face. If I were a personal guard, it wouldn't be impossible."
He was just snorting, looking at Liang Xiao with a smile on his face, pinched and put his hands behind him, and put them down again and again.
"But after the old man retired, he didn't save any contributions and could only surrender to the sect of Curie. I can't help but feel a little strange. I wonder if it was because of his timidity, he would be postponed every battle, or because of his identity, he would be hard to reward for his achievements?"
Lin Zheng narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "A little trick, you have a pair of good eyes. However, your mouth is not very cautious. Don't you know that speaking like an arrow is easy to put, but it is difficult to stop?"
Liang Xiao said with a smile: "How about this, the old man asked me to go in and look for Huan Sheng. I kept my mouth shut and pretended that I had never seen the old man. What about?"
Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows and hesitated for a moment: "Take it serious?"
"A gentleman's words are as good as he can."
Li Zheng nodded and slowly walked into the doorman inside the door, yawned, and closed his eyes. Liang Xiao did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly pulled Tu Niu'er to walk through the door. Tu Niu'er rubbed his butt while looking at Liang Xiao admiringly.
"A Xiao, what did you see that actually made this old man so nervous?"
"Don't talk too much, hurry up and ask if anyone named Huan lives here." Liang Xiao whispered: "I used to know that this area was mixed with fish and dragons, but I didn't expect to see someone today. If you keep your mouth tight, don't tell me, it will ruin your hiding and cause a fatal disaster."
Tu Niuer touched her stomach that was still a little painful, and nodded repeatedly.
The two of them asked several families in a row, but they didn't find anyone with the surname Huan, let alone Huan Sheng.
Liang Xiao felt something was wrong, so he asked a few old men, but he still found nothing. Tu Niuer wanted to ask the next family, but Liang Xiao grabbed him.
"Stop looking for it. There is still a reason for young people not to know each other. Even the elderly who have lived here for decades and have lived here for decades do not know. Either they really don't have this person, or they are unwilling to say it."
"Why don't you say it?" Tu Niuer looked confused, "Are we like bad people?"
Liang Xiao thought to himself, you kid doesn't look like a good person. It's fine if half of your face is swollen, and you don't have a straight face when you walk. Everyone's eyes look a little weird when they look at you, either fear or contempt. I was even scandaled several times. I really want to pretend not to know you.
"Let's talk about it when you go out." Liang Xiao pulled Tu Niuer out of the stone. When passing the inner door, the old man in the inner door was still pretending to be asleep, but he just picked the corner of his mouth slightly. Tu Niuer was about to look back, but was grabbed by Liang Xiao. "Stop looking, do you think the trouble is not big enough?"
"What trouble did I cause?" Tu Niuer asked indifferently: "Aren't it just a deserter or a fugitive? I have seen so many people. There are people like this everywhere in Guangling City." Tu Niuer said, reaching out to draw a circle. "I dare to say that, among the ten nearby people, anyone with a foreign accent may be a fugitive."
Liang Xiao sighed secretly, regretting it. At first, he heard the prisoner say that his son lived in the stone before, and he felt something was wrong. When he encountered this, which was obviously hidden, he was already full of suspicion. Now that he heard what Tu Niuer said, he was sure there was something wrong here.
Huan Sheng is indeed not in the stone, and the prisoner may have dug a hole for him.
As Tu Niuer said, Guangling City has never been short of fugitives. The Han Dynasty was not far away from ancient times, and the trend of wandering scholars was very strong. Many people depended on nobles and nobles for wealth or refugees, had strong financial resources and a respectable status as their first choice. King Liu Bi of Wu conspired to rebel and recruited rebellions for decades. Since then, Guangling City has been a paradise for all kinds of wandering scholars and fugitives.
When the King of Wu rebelled, Guangling City was the place of oath. When his generals led their troops to fight, their families would stay in Guangling City as hostages. Later, Wu and Chu were defeated, their chief evil was executed, their accomplices were arrested, and ordinary soldiers were pardoned. Most of them still lived in Guangling City, becoming the enthronement of Jiangdu State.
The area around Shili is where foreign tourists live. As Tu Niuer said, those who speak foreign accents may have been fugitives. The just now, the Lizheng was no exception. His experience shows that he was probably a member of the rebels of King Liu Bi of Wu, just like the prisoner Huanjun.
Liang Xiao took a few steps, his heart moved, and he stung back. Lin was opening his eyes, looking at Liang Xiao lazily, and his mouth was crooked. "Little trick, since he has left, what are you doing again?"
Liang Xiao showed a innocent smile of harmless humans and animals. "Old man, can you find out something?"
