I got up groggily in the morning, and a bowl of hot white porridge was already in front of me, Liu Zhixing picked up a big bowl of white porridge and went down to my stomach, and my head felt that there was no such severe pain. It's a pity to put down the big bowl, but it's best if you have another plate of mixed vegetables.

Xia Er, who walked slowly with a basin of hot water, saw the look of her son-in-law. His face was flushed, and he put down the basin and shouted, "The second son can wash up first and change into clean clothes." ”

Liu Zhixing got up to wash, and Xia Er remembered last night's ridiculous face and her face was hot. Liu Zhixing stretched out his hand and shook it, trying to wipe his face but couldn't find a hand towel, and couldn't help shouting: "Sister Xia'er." Sister Xia'er. ”

Xia Er, who was a little stunned, reacted and handed the handkerchief in her hand to her son-in-law. Xia Er hurriedly took out a clean dress from the wardrobe, and Liu Zhixing habitually opened his arms. Wearing only this single dress, Xia Er couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at Liu Zhixing's upright body. Liu Zhixing said helplessly: "I'll change the underwear myself." ”

Xia Er put a dress on the head of the bed, Liu Zhixing glanced up and said, "Sister Xia Er won't go out for a while." Seeing the panicked Xia'er, Liu Zhixing seemed to remember something.

was silent for a moment, and Xia Er's face turned even redder. Just put on a casual outfit, it doesn't fit very well, and you should redo a few sets. After many years in the army, he cleaned up the bed casually, and subconsciously looked at the red on the bed. Staring at the small bloodstain, Liu Zhixing was stunned.

What happened last night was always thought to be a dream, and this dream was extremely real. Subconsciously turned his head back and forth through the shadows of the doors and windows, remembering that Xia Er got up early in the morning and was different. Liu Zhixing smiled helplessly, it turned out that the person who was not a dream last night, and the lingering person was not the girl who was in her heart, but Sister Xia'er, who grew up together.

Walking out of the door, Liu Zhixing looked at Xia Er, who was at a loss, and said, "Sister Xia Er." "I was about to say something.

Xia Er said decisively: "It was Xia Er's voluntary, and the second son should not blame himself." Xia Er was originally the second son's roommate, Xia Er didn't need anything, I just hoped that the second son would not be so sad. "I was about to say something.

Decisively took Xia Er's hand and said, "I know, since it has happened, I won't deny it." Sister Xia'er, don't think too much, she deserves to be famous..."

Xia Er lowered her head and said silently: "I didn't dare to think about it, second son. ”

The warmth from the palm of her hand Xia Er is very enjoyable, and in her memory, the little boy who just entered the house likes to run around holding his little hand. It has been many years since the second son became sensible and never held hands. Now this hand is not immature, but solid and generous. It's just that I'm a little sad in my heart, the second son's hands are calloused all the time, and they are not so delicate.

Liu Zhixing said: "I know, Sister Xia'er and I went to Lu's Restaurant. ”

For many things, Liu Zhixing doesn't want to ask his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, and the servants in the house will not tell the truth. When I got home, I still remember a lot of things even though I was drunk, will someone tell the truth?

Although Zhang Bai has already said in detail, Liu Zhixing still wants to know more. This city is far more troublesome than the frontier, how can you not know if you grew up in this city, but you didn't care about it at the beginning, and you don't want to think about it. Now that you want to do something, you must know a lot.

Just walked out of the courtyard gate and hurriedly walked over, Liu Zhixing smiled helplessly. Seeing Yang Chen's anxious appearance, he probably didn't know that he had returned to Beijing today, and he came early in the morning because of that incident. Liu Zhixing turned around and said, "I'll leave later." ”

Yang Chen still had a dozen steps away and stopped: "I'm sorry, even if I am in Taiping City, I can't protect Yulian, you can beat me!" I won't turn it over this time. ”

Walk a few steps quickly and wave your fist extremely in the city, but it was a soft hammer on Yang Chen's shoulder and said, "I know you did your best, these Zhang Bai have already told me." ”

Staring at the best brother, although he hasn't seen him for a year, he can't see a little bit of what he once looked like from his body. It seems that Liu Zhixing has grown up a lot in this year, and he is no longer the boy who hangs on his face for everything. Only the loneliness in the blur in the eyes, and the injustice to God.

The two walked into the courtyard together, and the winter morning was still cold. Xia Er persuaded the two sons to enter the house many times, but Liu Zhixing and Yang Chen were still willing to sit in the courtyard. Xia Er had no choice but to wait on the sidelines, listening to her son's words, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, why did a pair of beautiful people be separated like this, and the separation of a wall seemed to be thousands of miles.

Yang Chen said: "I have sent people to inquire a lot during this time, and Second Master Lu has also made some moves on the rivers and lakes after getting the news. In the past few months, a lot of contacts have been severed, and although the Huangqu Lu family has shaken the rivers and lakes, they still can't uproot the red sleeve move, at least now they can do it without news reaching Taiping City. ”

Liu Zhixing just listened to this, and Liu Zhixing didn't care too much about everything that happened to the red sleeve move. The only thing I want to do now is to ask Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, why he did this, and if possible, who in the palace also wants to ask. The royal family has one country and one surname, Liu Zhixing just wants to ask me what the Liu family owes to the royal family. The four generations of the Liu family worked diligently for the Great Liang, and his father Liu Ce braved his grandfather's scolding to support the emperor to ascend the throne and pacify the northern tribes.

Let Liang Beijing have been peaceful for more than ten years, and the elder brother has led the troops to defend the palace city for many years, and there has never been any change. I, Liu Zhixing, would rather die and disobey the military order, but also risk death to meet the 30,000 Baijia Army of Southern Chu to rescue the main force of the Changfeng Army trapped in the territory of Chu. Although the thirteenth battalion was gifted by the emperor, the thirteenth battalion was only two years old, and its outstanding military exploits were no different from the old battalion. Braving the hostility between the Liu clan and the Huping Mengshi, he followed the will to promote the establishment of the Nanjing Arsenal, and all the credits have been recorded.

"Although King Qi is not as prosperous as a year ago, it is not something we can deal with, Tianshui is far away from Taiping City, so it can't help much? This time, I brought the thirteenth battalion of boiling eagles back to Taiping City, and there were thirty elite swordsmen, and Lu Lin and He Hanlin also came back with me. With these people here, you should be able to do something. Liu Zhixing said very seriously.

Yang Chen looked at his words seriously, and even saw some key points. Where is this Liu Zhixing in cognition, Xiao Ming never wanted Xiao Ming to be the emperor in Taiping City, but Liu Zhixing and Lin Zhong, but Yang Chen. Liu Zhixing has never said much, but no one will think that Liu Zhixing will not do it.

asked seriously: "Zhixing has thought about it, and I want to go against Your Majesty." ”

Extremely helpless with a smile, Liu Zhixing said in a very low tone: "I'm not so stupid, Yulian is already His Majesty's concubine, I just want to do something that needs to be done." At least Yulian will know that I am back, and no matter where she is, it will not change in my Liu Zhixing's heart. ”

Looking at Liu Zhixing's serious appearance, Yang Chen didn't know what to say, maybe he would ask the emperor for something instead. Although it is painful now, he is just looking for the red sleeves on the rivers and lakes to show his anger, Liu Zhixing came back this time obviously to fight to the death with the King of Qi, just as he said to the King of Qi: "As long as you are not the emperor, anyone can do it." If you are the emperor, the 100,000 iron horsemen of Tianshui are still there. ”

Liu Zhixing still has his own concerns, maybe he won't go against King Qi openly, at least he will do something. Many things happen from the moment they happen, no matter how hard you try, in the end, there is only helplessness in your chest. Helplessness is still helplessness, and finally something must be done within the scope of what can be done.

looked at Yang Chen's nervous eyes and said, "You can rest assured that you won't let your family worry, at least let the world know that the woman I like Liu Zhixing likes is very unhappy to enter the palace." ”

Yang Chen looked at the blazing but helpless eyes, there is not only one person in the world, His Majesty the Emperor today. Yang Chen slowly closed his eyes for a long time before saying, "What do you want to do, I'll help you." ”

Liu Zhixing waved his hand: "Yang Chen, don't participate in the troubled waters, as the only Wang Shizi with a different surname in Daliang, try not to do this." It's good that I'll do it, there aren't many people who bring it back this time, and it's enough to do what I can. Since you have already moved the red sleeve move, you will leave it to me next, compared to Hanlin, where are you ready, just tomorrow, I will ask Mrs. Fang if she is ready. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Just look at it, Xiaolongshui has already started to do it before entering the city."

Yang Chen was not answering, and suddenly saw Xia Er's hesitant expression. got up and looked at Xia Er and said, "What Xia Er said to Zhixing just now, don't tell anyone, including uncles and aunts. ”

Biting his lip and nodding slightly, he couldn't help but look at Liu Zhixing. It turns out that the second son, who is still a child in his heart, is already an adult, so why bother to make trouble by doing what he wants to do. He bowed his head and said, "Second son, then I'll go out first, and you can discuss with Yang Gongzi." ”

Liu Zhixing didn't stop nodding in agreement, and Yang Chen explained in detail what he had done to the Red Sleeve Move, as well as King Qi's recent actions. After a little understanding of the red sleeve move, Liu Zhixing nodded and said: "It seems that there is no hurry to get rid of the red sleeve move, just to send Zhang Bai a favor, a rare vote." ”

Yang Chen was a little curious about this, and wanted to know what Liu Zhixing was going to do. How is it related to Zhang Bai, and Yang Chen seems to have forgotten this person.

Liu Zhixing slowly got up and said, "It's just that you are here, go to Lu's Restaurant with me." ”

Not long after leaving the courtyard, Xia Er hurriedly came and shouted, "Second son, the second prince palace is here." ”

couldn't help but surprise Liu Zhixing, and his face changed suddenly and returned to normal again. After inquiry, I learned that the person who came was actually a confidant of Emperor Wei Gonggong, the head of the Great Interior, holding a holy decree. Liu Zhixing didn't dare to wait long and hurried over, but Grandpa Wei still had a smile on his face. In Liu Zhixing's memory, Father-in-law Wei never got angry, nor did he have any other expressions, he always smiled like this.

Gonggong Wei first said with the holy decree: "Your Majesty General Liu said, I know that your kid is unhappy, what is the reason why you ran all the way back from Nanjing. If you are not happy in your heart, I am not happy in my heart. Rest assured, I will not treat you badly, and I will give you an explanation. Since you're back, be more stable, and go back to Nanjing if you want to open. ”

Looking at Liu Zhixing, who was gritting his teeth, Father-in-law Wei said, "Liu Shangshu, General Liu takes the order." Liu's Erlang greeted the long wind, built thirteen, and was stationed at the border. I Nian Erlang has never married a relative, selected a woman of appropriate age in each prefecture, and gave Liu Zhixing, the commander of the thirteenth battalion of Changfeng, and Yang Luo, the daughter of the king of Tianshui, the marriage date, and the twenty-third day of the first month of the first month. ”

Seeing that Liu Zhixing didn't move for a long time, Liu Ce got up and said, "Weichen took the order, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

Clenched his fists tightly, under Liu Ce's urging, Liu Zhixing said softly: "Weichen accepts the order, thank Your Majesty Longen." ”

Wei Gonggong was about to leave, and Liu Ce urged Liu Zhixing to send it off. Holding a bag of silver in his hand and handing it to Father-in-law Wei, Father-in-law Wei pushed it back and said, "General Liu doesn't have to send it, it won't be beneficial to anyone to listen to the affairs of our royal family."
