In the back garden of the Beiping Palace, the viewing tower, the highest place, Liu Zhiyuan drank alone at night. The attendants and guards waited a little farther away, so as not to disturb the atmosphere of the King of Beiping's quiet solitude.

Get up, facing the direction of Taiyuan Palace, and look into the distance by the railing. The bright moonlight sprinkled calmly, shining Liu Zhiyuan's shadow, which looked very strong, not at all like an old man who knew the destiny of heaven.

The night is getting slightly cooler, feeling the cool breeze blowing slowly, but Liu Zhiyuan has a little wave in his heart, looking forward to, nervous, and excited...... At the overlook, the Taiyuan Palace Group in the hazy night made his sharp eyes a little hot.

Gentle footsteps sounded from behind, and the sound of the long skirt brushing the ground could be faintly heard, and the people who could walk to him without being informed were only one person in the entire Jinyang.

Turning around, Liu Zhiyuan quietly looked at the Li family who came forward, and his serious face rarely softened: "Madam! ”

"It's so late, and the king still doesn't rest?" Holding a robe that was not thick in his hand, Li personally put it on for Liu Zhiyuan, and asked softly.

"I can't sleep!" Turning around, Liu Zhiyuan cast his eyes on the nearby garden and sighed: "Sheji has collapsed, the situation is turbulent, and the road ahead is difficult." I've been worrying all night about how to save the drowning, but I can't do it......"

Hearing Liu Zhiyuan's sigh, Li Shi said calmly: "The king is a hero in the world, and if he wants to do extraordinary things, he should have the determination to cut through thorns and overcome all difficulties." It's not your character to worry too much. ”

Li's gentle voice seemed to calm Liu Zhiyuan's restless heart, and when he turned his head again, Liu Zhiyuan met his wife's gentle gaze and showed a little smile: "Tomorrow I will lead the army to go out alone, and this palace will be handed over to Mrs. to take care of!" ”

"Rest assured, my lord. The concubine is in the mansion and waits for the king's triumph! Li smiled as he could.

Just like in previous years, every time he goes on a campaign, every time he encounters a major event, the Li family will always support Liu Zhiyuan silently behind his back. This time, it was no exception, Liu Zhiyuan, who felt something, couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Li's hand.

In his eyes, there is a sense of enterprising.

This night, many people are destined to have trouble sleeping, including Liu Chengyou. Maybe it's "father and son connecting hearts", standing in front of the window, through the window lattice, Liu Chengyou also looked at the direction of Taiyuan Palace.

Maybe at this moment, in that palace, there are still longing figures, cleaning up in the night.

"Tomorrow will be fifteen!" Liu Chengyou sighed.

"Huh?" The delicate appearance of the little woman of the Geng family gently snuggled up to Liu Chengyou's side, and she was a little puzzled when she heard the words: "What's wrong?" ”

She only knew that Liu Chengyou would go out with the army tomorrow, but she didn't know what was special on the 15th.

However, Liu Chengyou didn't mean to explain to Geng's family, he made a cold face, and silently added in his heart: "It's finally fifteen!" ”

In a trance, he looked down at Geng. The beauty is as delicate as jade, under the faint yellow light, under Liu Chengyou's gaze, it looks so bright and moving. The ambiguous atmosphere gradually filled the room, and Liu Chengyou's calm mood suddenly fluctuated, as if he had been squeezed fiercely.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou tried his best to calm down the ups and downs in his heart, wanting to cool down the heat. Turned around, walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, muttered for a while, Fang raised his head and stared at Geng's, and said softly: "Unload your armor!" ”

"Huh?" The breathing was slightly short, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and his head hung down shyly, and his beautiful eyes were full of incomprehension.

"Remove your armor!" Liu Chengyou's voice was a little higher.

But facing the young man's eyes that seemed to see through him, Geng Shi seemed to understand all of a sudden, and smiled at Liu Chengyou, and the crimson on his face deepened under the candlelight.

......

Four years of good luck, February 15.

It was obviously a good day, with sunny weather and a nice wind. When the sun rose in the east, the "welcoming army", which had long been ready to go, under the personal command of Liu Zhiyuan, the king of Beiping, and under the eyes of the officials and people of Jinyang, drove eastward.

More than 20,000 soldiers and horses, the sequence is clear, and they are marching mightily. However, the full preparation before the expedition in the past few days seems to have been completely useless, and the baggage battalion only received one day's food, and traveled lightly all the way, but it walked very slowly.

It was an hour and a half of an hour and a half, and the journey was less than twenty miles. Then, the army "unexpectedly" stopped, and all the soldiers "clamoured" and did not leave......

The Chinese army, temporarily set up in the camp, Liu Zhiyuan was furious.

"Find out for me right away, what's going on? Why stop? Pacing back and forth in the camp in a hurry, Liu Zhiyuan's expression was fierce, and he roared at several Muzuo: "What do they want to do? Yes? Rebellion? ”

Liu Chengyou was on his side, and at this time, looking at Liu Zhiyuan's excited performance, his heart became more and more calm. Today, he just needs to do what he has to do.

"Erlang, you go and call Shi Hongzhao to Lone!" After venting, Liu Zhiyuan suppressed his anger and instructed Liu Chengyou.

"Yes!" Liu Chengyou came out at the order.

It was very quiet outside the military tent, and although the officers and men of each army and battalion gathered together, they were very orderly and had no intention of making trouble. Liu Xin, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei and other senior generals, as well as commanders of various armies and battalions, led a large number of soldiers and soldiers, and had "quietly" surrounded Liu Zhiyuan's tent.

Seeing Liu Chengyou come out, several senior officials immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Servant, how is it?" ”

After glancing around, Liu Chengyou didn't speak, just stood in front of the officers. Holding his hands in his arms, he paced slowly, and the scene was surprisingly quiet. There were no guards outside the tent to report to the inside, and the tent didn't seem to notice anything unusual outside, so they sent people out to check, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding inside and outside.

Seeing Liu Chengyou's "pretending" performance, Shi Hongzhao couldn't help it, took a step forward, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Guo Wei beside him. Guo Wei didn't speak, only shook his head at him.

After a long time, Liu Chengyou beckoned to Zhang Yanwei. Seeing the gesture, Zhang Yanwei immediately stepped forward excitedly and handed over a package. After opening it and taking out a yellow robe, Liu Chengyou walked towards the tent first, and said lightly: "General Shi, the king is invited!" ”

Hearing the sound, Shi Hongzhao and the others immediately followed and swarmed in.

In the tent, Liu Zhiyuan stood with his hands in his hands, but when he saw Liu Chengyou taking the lead in breaking in, still holding the yellow robe in his hand, his calm face "changed": "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Without much nonsense, the dozen or so generals who broke in fell directly to their knees and shouted with their heads buried in their heads: "Your Majesty! ”

In fact, at this point, there is no need to say more. Seeing this scene, Liu Zhiyuan still didn't understand. Of course, perhaps from the very beginning, he was the one who understood best.

"Wait, this is to put Lone on the cauldron!" Pointing at everyone, Liu Zhiyuan's voice trembled a little.

At this time, Liu Chengyou got up, put aside the yellow robe, stepped forward quickly, and buckled directly on Liu Zhiyuan. Immediately, he silently hugged Liu Zhiyuan out of the tent with the crowd.

When Liu Zhiyuan, who was dressed in a yellow robe, appeared in front of the three armies under the guard of the generals, bursts of "long live" cries suddenly broke out.
