Liu Yao staggered out of the door of Anping Palace, originally Liu Ji insisted on sending Liu Yao back, who knew that he was one step drunk before Liu Yao, lying on the table unconscious, Liu Yao had to leave Anping Mansion alone.

As soon as he left the house, a breeze hit, blowing refreshed, Liu Yao shook his head, and immediately returned to normal, the wine of this era is really not any wine, the low degree is like drinking water, which has no effect on Liu Yao, who was used to drinking liquor.

"Your Highness is really not drunk." Ma Kang also stepped out of the Anping Mansion with a steady pace, and happened to see Liu Yao with a normal face.

Liu Yao looked back and saw that it was Ma Kang, and immediately squinted his eyes and smiled, and replied, "Aren't you too?" ”

Ma Kang immediately waved his hand and said undeniably: "Joke, I'm not drunk with a thousand cups of Xiliang Jian'er, what is this little wine?" ”

Liu Yao was not in the mood to fight with him for a drink, but he was a little curious about Ma Kang's identity, so he asked: "General Ma, since Ling Zun and Ling Zu both used to serve in my Han Dynasty, I wonder if General Ma has any thoughts of staying?" ”

Hearing Liu Yao ask this, Ma Kang just shook his head and replied:

"Resist, I have been loyal to the British Lord, this time I came to Shuzhong, one is to find a way out for the Wenyang brothers, I have understood, he has a bleak background, but he has martial arts through the sky, I can't bear to bury him, so I brought him over."

Seeing that Liu Yao was already listening attentively, Ma Kang continued: "Second, I am worried about my aunt, the only thing my father was worried about before his death was his sister, seeing that she is okay now, I will rest assured, and when the tree function is submitted, I will go back to Liangzhou with him." ”

Liu Yao was not surprised to hear that he was just looking for a way out for Wen Yang, with Wen Yang's character, he was not so easy to betray the master, but knowing that Ma Kang already had a lord, Liu Yao was even more curious, Ma Kang had a kind of heroic temperament that was difficult to suppress, otherwise how could it be so easy to have a heart of love for talents, and came all the way to Xishu to find a way out for Wen Yang, and Cao Cao sent Guan Yu Chitu Ma back then, and he was very good at buying people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao couldn't help but ask: "I don't think General Ma is a person who is willing to be subordinate, I don't know what kind of British lord is worthy of your loyalty?" Can Robert do it? Or the north? ”

Ma Kang didn't deny it, but just smiled mockingly and said, "If Robert can?" A Piffle! The Sima family in the north is as cunning as a fox, and the little emperor is also cowardly and incompetent, where is there anything worthy of my allegiance. ”

Hearing Ma Kang's answer, Liu Yao was a little incredulous, and asked again, "Could it be from Jiangdong?" But you've run far enough, all the way from Jiangdong to Xiliang. ”

Ma Kang saw that Liu Yao couldn't guess anything, but he didn't plan to tell his origin, so he replied prevaricatingly: "Your Highness doesn't need to ask more, Your Highness will know my origin in the future, but today Kang plans to send His Highness a word of advice, which can be regarded as repaying His Highness for taking in Brother Wenyang." ”

Liu Shao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Wenyang is quite capable, I am grateful for you to give him to me." But I'm interested in your advice. ”

A slight smile appeared on Ma Kang's face, walked forward, and said word by word in Liu Yao's ear: "The merit is high, the emperor is ruthless!" ”

After speaking, Ma Kang turned around and entered the mansion without looking back, leaving Liu Yao there with a little distraction and muttering: "The merit is high, the emperor is ruthless?" ”

He was carefully savoring the meaning of this sentence, and after a long time, he guessed a clue, it was not Liu Chan who was the one who had high merit, as an excellent prince, in Liu Chan's eyes, he Liu Yao had more advantages than disadvantages, and Liu Chan would have a day after a hundred years, and it was naturally a good thing to have an excellent heir.

But some people can't see other outstanding princes, some people's princely positions will definitely be affected, and some princelings' interests will also be damaged, and even some treacherous people in the court don't want to let a Ming monarch come to power.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he just wanted to live this life in peace, he didn't want to participate so much, as long as he could live well, he would never compete with anyone, if some people forced themselves, then he would definitely not be easy to mess with.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yao gradually relieved, strode towards the way home, and when he returned to Anding Palace, the sky was gradually approaching dusk, and this wine was really long enough.

Meng Yining sat in front of the mansion and waited for Liu Yao, she didn't know anyone in the Central Plains, and gradually felt a little lonely and tired in the palace.

Seeing Liu Yao coming back, Meng Yining quickly got up and ran over like a deer with her dress in her dress.

"You're back? Didn't you go to the temple of the first emperor? Why is it so big? As soon as Meng Yining ran to Liu Yao's side, he smelled a strong smell of wine, so he asked.

Liu Yao looked at Meng Yining who ran over with a smile, took her in his arms, and said, "I was dragged by the guy from King Anping to drink some wine, isn't it because I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry, so I ran back quickly!" ”

Meng Yining wanted to break free from him, but was held in Liu Yao's arms, so he also gave up struggling, and said coquettishly: "I kind of want to go back to Nanzhong, I don't know anyone here." ”

Liu Yao was a little stunned, he really didn't expect this, after all, Meng Yining was from Nanzhong, and there was no other person he knew when he came to the Central Plains, and he often ran out, so he was indeed a little bit responsible, so he kissed Meng Yining on the forehead and said softly:

"Then I will try to stay in the house in the future and accompany you more."

Meng Yining buried his head and said with half a complaint: "I'm afraid you won't count if you speak." ”

"Absolutely not, I swear to God, I Liu Yao ....." Liu Yao just wanted to swear, but when he saw a young man in armor coming out of his house, Liu Yao immediately stopped talking.

The person who came was Chen She, Chen She came to Anding Wangfu at noon, but he never saw Liu Yao, only to learn from Meng Yining that Liu Yao went to the temple of the first emperor to pay respects, so he rushed to the temple of Emperor Zhaolie, but did not find Liu Yao, so he had to wait in the palace.

"Chen She?" Liu Yao shouted in some surprise.

As soon as Chen She walked out of the mansion gate, he saw Liu Yao and Meng Yining snuggling, so he was embarrassed to interrupt them, and was about to go back to the mansion for a while, but was seen by Liu Yao, Chen She scratched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Your Highness is busy first, and then I'll go shopping." ”

Chen She was about to turn around and leave as he spoke, but Liu Yao hurriedly stopped him: "Chen She, go back to the study in the mansion and wait for me for a while." ”

Chen She nodded, turned around and entered the Anding Palace.

Liu Yao looked at Meng Yining in her arms and said with some guilt: "I... ”

Meng Yining bit his lip, raised his head, and replied to him gently: "You go, General Chen has been waiting for an afternoon, there must be something urgent." ”

Meng Yining is still more knowledgeable under the education of his master since he was a child, and he knows how important things are.

After getting Meng Yining's consent, Liu Yao stroked her black hair with her hand, and said gently: "I'll go to Zhang Zun of Shangshulang Mansion tomorrow to call Moon Shadow, you also have someone to talk to." ”

Since entering Chengdu City, Moon Shadow has also lived with Zhang Zun, Zhang Zun, as the son and grandson of Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Huan, and the Shang Shulang of the imperial court, the mansion is naturally not bad.

Meng Yining just nodded, did not answer him, and the two returned to the palace of Anding Wang with each other.

As soon as Liu Yao returned home, he hurriedly ran to the study, Chen She was already sitting here and tasting tea, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, because Liu Yao treated his subordinates very kindly, even a cautious general like Chen She was more casual in front of Liu Yao, and when he saw Liu Yao coming in, Chen She quickly got up and said, "The last general will see His Highness!" ”

Liu Yao waved his hand and let the person who had just made tea go out, and then said to Chen She: "Don't be polite to your own people, sit down and say." ”

"Your Highness!" Chen She sat down again.

Liu Yao also took a cup of tea and sat opposite Chen She and asked, "When did you go back to Chengdu?" How is Eyu now? ”

Chen She began to straighten his face and replied: "The last general came back at noon, Jiang Youcheng has been taken over by the general, but it is just ......."

Liu Yao frowned and asked, "Just what?" ”

Chen She instantly lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Liu Yao's expression, and said guiltily: "The eight hundred guards are gone, the Jianning army is basically gone, and even General Sha has suffered heavy losses. ”

Liu Yao sighed, thinking of the eight hundred guards who followed him, who were now separated by yin and yang, his heart ached, and he asked, "How many of us still have us?" ”

Chen She raised his head and replied: "There are still more than six hundred people in the Jianning army and the personal guards, but they are all wounded, plus the hundred personal guards taken away by His Highness, the eight hundred personal guards should still be able to be regrouped." ”

Chen She knew that Liu Yao's personal guards didn't want any crooked melons and cracked dates, as long as the elite soldiers were fierce, once these injured remnants recovered, their combat effectiveness would grow tremendously in the grinding of blood.

After hearing Chen She's words, an idea quickly sprouted in Liu Yao's mind, and after thinking for a moment, Liu Yao said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow you go to Luo Xian and recall my hundred personal guards, as well as your remnants, while Your Majesty has not returned, they will all be dismissed to Chengdu City, and more salaries will be distributed to the wounded soldiers, and they will be called to train in the suburbs of Chengdu every month in the future." ”

Chen She's face changed instantly, and he asked in disbelief: "Your Highness, does it have to hide private soldiers?" But so many soldiers have suddenly disappeared, and they will definitely be found! ”

Hearing Chen She's question, Liu Yao continued: "Now that the Wei-Han War has ended, since these soldiers have been injured, it is normal for them to be disbanded with salaries and silver. ”

Chen She nodded, agreeing with Liu Yao's statement, but still said gloomily: "Your Highness, but we don't have any money, and we still need some allocation from Your Highness." ”

Liu Yao suddenly patted his head, looked at his study, spread his hands at Chen She, and said helplessly: "Look at the four walls of my house, I will find a way to do this." ”

Chen She also visited Liu Yao's palace this afternoon, and he was indeed a little poor, seeing that Liu Yao really couldn't come up with the money, he said worriedly: "If there is no salary, I'm afraid these guards will never be called back after they are dismissed. ”
