131. [128] Who's!
The patrolling soldiers quickly gathered in the direction of the south gate, and the torches in their hands gradually converged into a long winding dragon, illuminating the night sky as bright as day.
Diao Chan followed behind Shen Xian with Liu Qi, and the three of them hid in the corner of the wall and secretly rubbed to observe the surrounding environment.
After receiving the news of the invasion of the enemy, the sleeping state governor's mansion gradually woke up, the maids and servants were in a mess, and Mrs. Cai hurriedly came to the lobby with her scattered hair bun to preside over the overall situation, but before she could say a word, she saw Cai Mao leading troops to break in.
"What do you do!" Mrs. Cai frowned and glared at Cai Mao: "What's going on outside!" The big night disturbs the dream! ”
"Think about how to survive! Most of the soldiers defending the city died, the city gate was opened, and Guo Fengxiao's 10,000 troops had entered the city and were now fighting in the streets......" Cai Mao finished a series of words like a cannonball, he took a breath and sneered: "It's all like this, do you still want to sleep?" ”
Mrs. Cai was stunned, she didn't expect such a thing to happen at all.
Cai Mao's words were like water poured into boiling oil, and a few seconds later, the quiet front yard exploded, and the maids and servants in the courtyard screamed one after another, turned around and fled outside.
"Don't run around!" Mrs. Cai was so angry that she stomped her feet: "If you go out, you will die-"
"You still care about them!" Cai Mao rolled his eyes in anger, he grabbed Mrs. Cai and walked out with the support of his own soldiers: "Let's go!" While the north city gate is still not broken, it is the right thing to leave quickly! ”
"So, what about Cong'er!" Mrs. Cai was pulled by Cai Mao and stumbled, and she finally remembered her second son who was forgotten by herself.
"What Cong'er!" Cai Mao walked without looking back: "Take care of yourself!" ”
Seeing that Cai Mao and his party had completely left the State Pastoral Mansion, Shen Xian walked out of the shadows, she tidied up her crushed skirt, looked at the people who came and went to flee for their lives, and looked at Diao Chan speechlessly.
Liu Qi stopped talking for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "I, are we standing here?" ”
"Cai Deqi led people out of the house and broke through in the direction of the north city gate." Diao Chan listened for a while, and said to Shen Xian in a low voice: "No matter who is attacking the city, they are moving quickly, and Xiangyang is about to change hands." ”
"No," Shen Xian nodded to Diao Chan, and at the same time replied to Liu Qi's words: "Let's go see your father." ”
The army around Xiangyang City is all Shen Xian's people, and it is impossible for other forces to fish in troubled waters, since it is his own subordinates, what is Shen Xian afraid of?
Speaking of Liu Biao, Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and he also wanted to see this father he hadn't seen for a long time.
Under the leadership of Liu Qi, the three of them came to Liu Biao's bedroom.
Along the way, they met a lot of servants who were bored and grabbed things, and these people were in a hurry, with a sense of madness and determination on their faces. No one recognized Liu Qi, and in the face of the robbers who emptied their house, Liu Qi did not say anything to stop him, he just stood quietly in the corridor and watched the farce, as calm as the melon-eating crowd in the audience.
Shen Xian pointed to a servant who snatched the gold bars from the maid's arms and asked Liu Qi, "They are robbing your family property, don't you say a word?" ”
After a long time, Liu Qi shook his head: "Whatever, anyway, even if they don't take it, it won't be mine in the future." ”
"You're open-minded," Shen Xian raised her eyebrows: "But you reminded me that these things are mine now, and no one wants to take them away." ”
Liu Qi's face was full of black lines, and Diao Chan silently wrote down Shen Xian's words: Whoever robbed the lord's things will be caught back in a while.
Liu Biao's bedroom was empty in front of it, the door was ajar, and there was a squeaky sound when it was blown by the wind, Liu Qi's hand pushing the door hesitated for a moment, Shen Xian saw this, rolled her eyes, walked up with her waist and kicked the door open.
Liu Qi's hand pushing the door stiffened in the wind.
Diao Chan politely made a gesture of please: "Big Prince, please first." ”
Liu Qi followed Shen Xian into the house with mixed feelings.
There was a peculiar smell in the room, old and decaying, reminiscent of animals struggling with dying and ghostly graveyards in the dark night.
Liu Qi walked quickly to the bed, and he saw that the thin Liu Biao was tilting his head and shrinking under the quilt, his face was sallow, and his eyes were closed.
"Father, father?" Liu Qi's voice trembled a little, and he grabbed Liu Biao's hand on the quilt: "Father......"
Shen Xian sat down by the window, and Diao Chan stood guard at the door.
After a moment, Liu Biao opened his eyes.
Liu Biao's gaze was at a loss, his pupils exuded a gray color, and his gaze condensed for a long time before falling on Liu Qi's body.
Liu Qi felt Liu Biao shake slightly, and he tried to hold his son's hand: "Qi'er......"
"Father, my son is not filial and didn't come to see you sooner." Liu Qi choked up and said, "You, why did you become like this?" Mother She ...... Didn't take good care of you? ”
Speaking of Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's eyes lit up, and the whole person became very excited, he struggled to get up, but Liu Qi hurriedly pressed back to the bed: "Father, what are you going to do?" ”
Liu Biao gasped for a long time before he reluctantly said, "The situation outside...... How is it? ”
Before Liu Qi could figure out whether to tell Liu Biao the truth tactfully, or hide it from him to reassure him, he heard Shen Xian say indifferently: "The city is broken, you have lost." ”
Hearing that there was a second person in the room, Liu Biao pushed Liu Qi to the side: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll be angry," Shen Xian said sincerely, "Liu Shangyu in Xia Yizhou." ”
Liu Biao was quiet for a while.
Liu Qi moved in front of Liu Biao to block his sight, but was unswervingly pulled aside by Liu Biao.
Shen Xian and Liu Biao's eyes met, one was calm and the other was complicated.
Liu Biao was the first to speak: "Lord Liu, I have admired my name for a long time. ”
Shen Xian smiled slightly: "You're welcome." ”
For a moment, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging between the two, Liu Qi looked at his father and then at Shen Xian, not knowing how to speak.
Just when Liu Qi was in a dilemma, for fear that Shen Xian would make any unfavorable moves towards Liu Biao, Shen Xian suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, the eldest prince won't survive tonight, I don't have to do anything." ”
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Shen Xian said.
He wanted to roar at Shen Xian: "What nonsense are you talking about! But in the face of Shen Xian's indifferent gaze, Liu Qi couldn't open his mouth at all, and he knew that Shen Xian was telling the truth.
Seeing Liu Qi's eyes gradually reddening, and Douda's tears slowly sliding down his cheeks, Liu Biao patted the back of Liu Qi's hand with difficulty, and whispered to Shen Xian: "Can we let our father and son say something?" ”
"Please." Diao Chan helped Shen Xian to stand up, and the two slowly walked to the outer door, and Diao Chan also helped Liu Qi close the door very considerately.
"Lord, would you like to sit down for a while?" Diao Chan felt Shen Xian trembling slightly: "I'll go find a mat and come over, it's cold at night." ”
Shen Xian shook her head: "Don't be so troublesome. ”
As she spoke, she unbuttoned her cloak, folded it into a square, placed it on the cloister platform, and sat down on it.
Diao Chan gently pressed Shen Xian's shoulder to help her soothe her sore muscles.
Shen Xian raised her head and smiled at Diao Chan: "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what a person should do." ”
"The lord is overrated," Diao Chan said, "any maid will." ”
"No one can live without anyone." Diao Chan said as he looked at Liu Biao's bedroom.
Shen Xian nodded and looked at Diao Chan meaningfully: "Yes." ”
The two stayed in the corridor for a while, and Shen Xian keenly heard the sound of neat footsteps in the distance. Diao Chan also discovered this, she stopped in front of Shen Xian and held the dagger: "Lord, why don't you avoid it?" ”
If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, after all, neither Shen Xian nor Diao Chan have seen with their own eyes what the soldiers besieging the city look like.
"No," Shen Xian suddenly smiled: "It's the eldest brother, I heard his loud voice." ”
Sun Ce's angry shout came from afar: "Don't disturb the people...... Surrender without killing...... Liu Jingsheng ......"
Sun Ce's voice was getting closer and closer, and at this moment, Diao Chan's eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed Shen Xian's wrist and said quickly: "Lord! Do you know about your pregnancy, General Sun? ”
Shen Xian: "...... What?! ”
Shen Xian finally remembered this incident with hindsight, she looked frightened, and felt a sense of embarrassment that her unmarried and pregnant daughter was caught red-handed by her father: "Wait! He doesn't know! You're waiting for him here, I'll go first-"
Shen Xian didn't finish in the end, she just stood up with her waist up, and bumped into Sun Ce, who was carrying a long gun and was high-spirited.
Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled like a sun: "Yo, third sister! Can I run into you here? ”
Sun Ce walked into Shen Xian briskly as he spoke, and opened his arms to her, as if he wanted to give her a long-lost hug. However, Shen Xian took care of the buns in her stomach and subconsciously took a step back.
Sun Ce was hurt, he stopped in place and looked at Shen Xian: "Third sister, you have changed, you weren't like this before-"
"Are you fat?" Sun Ce's gaze finally fell on Shen Xian's stomach, and his topic involuntarily turned a corner: "What do you eat in Xiangyang?" How can you still be fat? ”
Shen Xian: "......"
"I'm not fat," Shen Xian took a deep breath, trying to pretend to be a facial paralysis, she tried to say in a calm tone: "This is normal, I'm just pregnant." ”
"I see." Sun Ce suddenly realized, he nodded: "That's good, that's good-"
"That's not right!"
Sun Ce let out a terrible roar, like a cat with its tail stepped on, and the soldiers who came with him were defenseless, frightened by the tenor voice of his own general, and their weapons crackled and fell to the ground. Sun Ce didn't have time to comfort his frightened subordinates, he himself was frightened.
Looking at Shen Xian dumbfounded, Sun Ce trembled and stretched out his finger to her: "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
"I said, I'm pregnant," Shen Xian repeated expressionlessly: "Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant." ”
"Three times, do you hear me?"
After a long silence, Sun Ce raised his hand and raised his gun to pounce on Shen Xian, and was desperately pulled back by his subordinates who had just woken up from a dream. Diao Chan had been paying attention to Sun Ce for a long time, and seeing that he seemed to be out of control, he immediately kicked Sun Ce out, Sun Ce drew an arc in mid-air and fell in front of the door of Liu Biao's bedroom, and after landing, he got up with difficulty and shouted to Shen Xian: "When is it!" How I didn't know! Whose! ”
"Who's! Which bastard! Lao Tzu abolished him! ”
