"Owner."
Outside the door, a soft knock was heard, followed by a respectful voice from a subordinate: "A guest asked for a visit."
"What a bullshit guest! No see! Let him get out! If you talk nonsense, break your legs and drive them out!" Liu Yan was suppressing his displeasure, and finally found the place to release him and shouted outside the door.
"Yes." The subordinate was still startled through the door and hurriedly stepped back. But after a while, the door was gently knocked.
"Master..." The subordinate's voice was embarrassed: "The guest said that he would not leave unless he saw you. He also said... let me bring you a word. If you still don't want to see him after hearing this, then he would break his legs and leave by himself..."
"Then let him interrupt himself!" Liu Yan just yelled impatiently, but his heart suddenly moved: "You... wait. What is his words?"
"Yes. The guest asked me to say to the host, 'You must be anonymous when traveling to Chang'an. I can help you with the difficulties.'"
After listening to it, Liu Yan's eyebrows gradually flipped together, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes.
After a long time, he strode to the door, opened the door heavily, looked at his subordinates who were lowered and bowed their heads in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Take him up."
...
Li Tong sat in the room, looking at the furnishings around with a leisurely expression, and exclaiming from time to time.
Before Li Tong was brought up, Liu Ji had been taken out of the room, and only the brothers Liu Yan and Liu Xiu were left in the room. Liu Xiu sat obediently, scanning the handsome young man who was about the same age as him curiously.
Liu Yan leaned obliquely against the wall, playing with a short knife in his hand. A knife flew up and down in his palm, but it would not cut his palm at all, as if he had life. However, his eyes were filled with fierce colors.
"Tell me first, who are you?" Liu Yan's eyes, which were sharper than the short sword in his palm, were staring at the guest who was brought up in front of him.
Before this person came up, Liu Yan had asked his subordinates to report all the information after he appeared to him.
This man came to Xiaoyue Tower for the first time today. He was very generous. Although he only came alone, he asked two girls to accompany him. The wine and dishes he wanted were the best.
His compartment was just opposite the compartment of Liu Ji and Liu Xiu. When the first fight started, he asked the girl who was with him to open the compartment screen and saw it from beginning to end. It was not until Liu Yan came down and took the two of them away that he closed the screen again and never left the compartment.
Not long after, he asked a girl in his compartment to send a message to meet the owner of Xiaoyue Tower. And - he also knew clearly that the owner here was named Liu Yan.
In this Wancheng, there are many people who know Xiaoyue Tower, and naturally there are even more people who know Liu Yan. But there are not many people who know that the owner of Xiaoyue Tower is Liu Yan.
In particular, it was clear that Liu Xiu had just told Liu Yan that he was elected and wanted to go to Chang'an to study in the Imperial Academy. And Liu Yan wanted to ask him to go to Chang'an under a false name, which was even more a moment ago.
How could a person who stays in the compartment know so clearly and say what he can help?!
Liu Yan's short knife kept spinning in his hands, and his eyes were not the eyes of the young man in front of him, but his throat.
Once his answer cannot satisfy Liu Yan, the next moment, the short knife will appear in his throat.
"Li Tong, whose courtesy name is Diyuan, is a native of Wancheng. My father, Li Shou, I think Brother Liu should have heard of it." Li Tong withdrew his gaze from looking around and looked at Liu Yan with a sincere smile.
Liu Yan frowned. Li Shou is the largest wealthy businessman in the city, and is also good at astronomy calendars and prophecy of prophecy. I heard that he was recruited by the court as Zong Qing's army and went to Chang'an not long ago. But he had never heard of this son in Li Shou's family.
As if seeing what Liu Yan was thinking, Li Tong smiled and said, "Before, he had served for the imperial court, first as the General of Five Powers, and later as the county magistrate of Wu County, and has not been in Wancheng for many years. Now he has just resigned and returned to his hometown, so Brother Liu has never heard of him before, so it is normal for him to be together."
"Why should I resign?" Liu Yan heard that Li Tong had served as an official in the New Dynasty, and a sense of confusion appeared on his face.
"The salary is not high, and I don't lack money at home, so why bother Wang Mang to death?" Li Tong squeezed his eyes and smiled: "But this is not the point, the point is..."
Li Tong's originally loose and loose sitting position suddenly became straightened, put his hands on his knees in front of him, and said in a stern manner: "Because I don't want to be buried with Wang Mang."
"Dream with you?" Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "As an official in the court, slandering the emperor, do you know that this is a death sentence?"
"Then... Brother Liu will send him down to the county government!" Li Tong smiled and spread his hands: "If Brother Liu thinks it is necessary to do this and show his loyalty to the court."
"Continue. Why do you know that my brother is going to Chang'an?" Liu Yan snorted coldly, without commenting, and let go of the topic just now.
"Since Brother Liu has heard of his father's name, he should naturally know that he has a good number of skills. But he is just not down..." Li Tong smiled and put his palms upwards on the tables in front of him: "In some aspects, it happens to be a little bit more powerful than his father."
Liu Yan looked at his hands and the corners of his mouth drooped: "I don't believe it, you can calculate that accurately."
"My father calculated the general trend of the world, which is beyond the reach of anyone in the world, so he naturally far surpassed the lower. But his strengths are good at calculating small matters, and no matter time or distance, the closer he gets, the more accurate he is." Li Tong smiled and withdrew his hands and put them in his sleeves: "There is no basis for empty words, I'm afraid Brother Liu doesn't believe it, so why not let me demonstrate it now."
Liu Yan looked at Li Tong's sleeves closed, closed his eyes, and a mysterious smile on his face, and he couldn't help but start to believe and doubt in his heart.
"Well..." After a while, Li Tong spread his sleeves, opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and pointed at the short knife in Liu Yan's hand that was still flipping up and down: "Brother Liu, be careful to hurt your hand."
"It's nonsense!" Liu Yan sneered. If Li Tong was something else, he might be a little bit skeptical. But... he was injured?
This is simply a big deal of the world.
Even if he closed his eyes or even fell asleep, Liu Yan could believe that the knife he held in his hand would not hurt him.
"Then... let's wait and see." Li Tong stretched out his hand from his sleeve again and pressed it on the table.
"If you calculate it wrong, I'm afraid your hand will always say goodbye to you." Liu Yan straightened up slightly, looking at Li Tong with threat in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter if two." Li Tong smiled, his hands placed on the table were still stable, without a trace of retreat.
A slight buzzing sound, a fly slowly floated into the room from outside the window.
Liu Yan frowned and glanced at the fly in displeasure. The short knife that was turning endlessly suddenly flew out like lightning and shot towards the fly.
Since Li Tong dares to question his level of playing with knives, let him see it with his own eyes.
The short knife shot out quickly with the sound of breaking through the air, pointing straight to the fly. In Liu Yan's expectation, the next moment, the fly would be nailed to the wall by the tip of the knife.
However, what surprised Liu Yan was that the fly flashed just a clever flash and flashed through the flying short sword. Instead, it circled an arc in the air and flew towards Liu Yan. The short sword lost its target and nailed it to the wall of the room with a "stern" sound.
While still surprised, the fly had flew in front of him in a flash.
Liu Yan was unhappy and waved his hand and wanted to drive the fly away. However, the moment he waved his right hand, his brow suddenly frowned.
But the hand that I waved was too late to withdraw.
With a stinging pain on the back of his hand, Liu Yan also discovered that it was not a fly, but a bee.
The bee swayed out of the window, but a tail thorn pierced into the flesh was left on the back of Liu Yan's hand.
Liu Yan lowered his head, stared at the back of his hand, then gently stretched out two fingers and clamped the tail thorn from the back of his hand. However, a red, swollen and tingling pain had been left behind.
My hand was actually injured. Although it was just a slight sting, it was also an injury after all.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yan raised his head and looked at Li Tong, who was still smiling on his face in front of him.
"Brother Liu, the so-called injury is not necessarily a knife wound."
Li Tong's hands were still placed flat on the table. They were fair and slender, and their nails were neatly trimmed like trees in the nursery.
"You..." Liu Yan was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "Okay, you won."
"Thank you, Brother Liu." Li Tong sat on the ground and didn't move, his upper body slightly owed forward, and said softly: "So, Brother Liu is willing to believe now?"
“Two questions.”
Liu Yan thought about it and nodded. His voice was gentle and stable: "First, how do you plan to help me. Second, why do you want to help me?"
"The first question is very simple." Li Tong smiled: "My father was recently recruited by the court and served as the post of Zongqing. It is not difficult to make some simple modifications on the list of Imperial College. As for the second question..."
Li Tong had a faint smile on his face, and suddenly became extremely solemn and serious at this time.
"My father, like my father, believes that Wang Mang's new dynasty will not last long. Not long ago, my father made a big divination, and the result of the divination was that Liu's family was about to rise and Li's family was supplemented. The person from Liu's family where the destiny was located was in Nanyang County."
Li Tong looked up at Liu Yan: "However, who is this person? It is hard to calculate carefully. So when I returned to Wancheng, waiting for the person who bears the destiny to appear, and my father still stayed in the court. This is the momentum of each other."
"And now... I think that this person has been found."
After saying that, Li Tong bent down deeply and lowered his head to Liu Yan through several cases.
Liu Yan listened to Li Tong's words silently, without saying a word, but just leaned against the wall quietly and looked at him calmly.
"So, you want to be... the one who assists me? Just because of the result of divination?" After a long time, Liu Yancai said softly.
"Yes." Li Tong raised his head, still with a solemn expression: "I believe in my father and myself. And more importantly, we believe that there is an existence called 'destiny' in this world. All we should do is adapt."
"So, is it the exchange for your clan to become my subordinate for forging an identity for A Xiu and letting him go to Chang'an to join the Imperial Academy?" Liu Yan asked.
Li Tong shook his head: "No, there is no exchange in this. No matter what we can do for you, it has nothing to do with the final result. I just hope that Brother Liu can see our sincerity."
Liu Yan did not answer immediately, stood up, walked to Liu Xiu, who had been sitting aside and had not spoken, and squatted down and looked at him.
"Axiu, tell me, do you believe what he said, destiny is on my brother? Seriously, answer me."
Liu Xiu raised his face, looked at his brother's face seriously, and then nodded heavily:
"Yes, I believe. Whether anyone says that, I believe that my brother is a man with destiny."
"good!"
Liu Yan's eyes closed slightly when he opened them again, and when he opened them, he had a sense of domineering aura. He stood up and turned around and looked at Li Tong.
"Then let's get... this world together!"
