The hustle and bustle in the capital has just come to an end, and people outside the city are shouting and neighing, and it is lively.

Dazai Shi Tiangong of Great Chu and Tang Wannian, King of Pingnan, urgently entered Beijing and met with Emperor Liu Qian of Great Chu.

"Two virtuous brothers, I miss you for my brother, hahaha." After Shi and Tang finished their three bows and nine bows, Liu Qian raised his hand with a spring breeze on his face.

After Liu Qian ordered someone to give him a seat, he asked in a low voice, "Then Ma Jiajun has made any changes recently?" ”。

Shi Tiangong replied: "Shengshang, rest assured, Weichen has always been in the Ma family's army, and the army has discussed the offensive strategy and how to arrange the troops, and Ma Maoxun has never shied away from it, and the cooperation with the fifth brother's men and horses is also in place." On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Ma family army used their lives and did not slack off. ”

Liu Qian nodded and said: "That's good, now that the Great Qi Dynasty has come to an end, the two virtuous brothers should pay more attention to the Ma Family, and the fifth brother and the Ma Family Army will continue to join forces to sweep away the remnants of the Great Qi." I plan to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the sixth brother to recover the territory of the Taiping army back then, and the garrison of the capital will have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Pingzhou. ”。

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, said: "Why don't you let the sixth brother lead his subordinate soldiers and horses to join forces with us, so that sweeping away the remnants of the Great Qi will be even more overwhelming." ”

Liu Qian raised his head and glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "The widow doesn't want him to get too close to that Ma Maoxun, don't you understand?" In addition, the Protector Army exterminated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and many of the people who remained in the local garrison were the old units of the Protector Army, and they were all hard bones. Our brother is really different from ordinary people, when others fight, the fewer people he fights, he is good, the more he fights, the stronger the team becomes! ”。

Shi Tiangong nodded thoughtfully and said, "What the imperial brother is extremely worried about is that leaving the sixth brother's soldiers and horses far away from the Ma family's army is the safest way at present. Nor can he let his family dominate and avoid repeating the mistakes of Ruan Wu."

Liu Qian looked at Shi Tiangong with great satisfaction, and smiled without saying a word.

In the evening, Guan Yu received a holy message from the eunuch, only to learn that the second brother and the fifth brother had also rushed back to the capital. Rejoicing, he hurried to meet them.

The brothers finally reunited in the capital of Daqi and drank and talked happily.

"Come on, come on, my Da Chu can have today, thanks to a few virtuous brothers. The fourth child was too far away to recruit him back, so he was sent to all of them. Liu Qian said as he raised the wine cup and said with a smile: "Brothers, raise a glass together, for me to rule the world, for my brothers' brotherhood, toast!" ”。

After three rounds of drinking, everyone talked and laughed during the banquet, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Liu Qian also looks rare and approachable, heroic and dry, without the slightest emperor's shelf. Glass after glass of wine went down the stomach, without shirking ambiguity.

After a while, his face flushed and his eyes gradually blurred.

A full moon like white jade hung high on the branches, casting a cold light.

Liu Qian suddenly stroked his palms and smiled: "I think my brothers and I are all reckless, licking blood with knives, and holding their heads to fight against the tyranny of Great Qi. Who would have thought that there would be today! Everything was like a dream. ”

As he spoke, he moved to Guan Yu, affectionately put an arm on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, this table of wine banquet is also regarded as the eldest brother's practice for you, after you pass by triumphantly, the widow should reopen the wine banquet and wash the dust for you." But before leaving, the imperial brother has a small matter here, and I want you to help. ”。

Guan Yu said with a smile: "Why does the eldest brother need to meet the younger brother, but there are orders, even if the foolish brother is full of liver and brain, he should do his best." ”

Liu Qian narrowed his eyes, looked at him quietly for a while, and smiled slightly, showing a little shyness.

He whispered in Guan Yu's ear: "It's still a little hard to say. After entering the palace, Lao Tzu drove out the eunuchs and palace maids who were not pleasing to the eye, and few of the harem concubines could look at them, and most of them had been swept out of the house. Send someone to investigate around for my brother, wanting to find some beauties to enrich the harem. ”

Guan Yu smiled slightly: "Brother Huang is already the king of a country, and this request cannot be considered excessive." But how can the foolish brother help you? ”。

Liu Qian leaned his head in front of Guan Yu again, eager to put his head on his shoulder, as if he was drunk, and lowered his voice even more and said, "Yes, you are too capable!" As a brother, I have always envied you for your good fortune, and you are quite a woman. The widow fell in love with the first Oiran on the Yanliu River on the outskirts of Beijing, and wanted to include it in the harem to seal a Zhaoyi, a talented person or something, and accompany me by my side. I don't know how to lift the little woman, so it's better for the virtuous brother to go for her brother, and if she dares to disobey, she will send her into the river to feed the fish. ”

Guan Yu was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at the imperial brother and said: "As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, so why should the imperial brother be strong?" Although he is a so-called Oiran, he is also from a humble background, how can he match the body of the imperial brother now? ”。

Liu Qian sat up straight, waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "We were originally born in a reckless background, and there is nothing noble or noble. I heard that the virtuous brother had a relationship with that little woman, and you must help with this favor! Otherwise, the widow will not know your loyalty to the widow! ”。

Guan Yu glanced back at him again, but as if he had first contact with Zheng Haoran in Hongze Lake, he always felt that behind the smiling eyes of this imperial brother, there was a pair of cold eyes flickering.

Two days later, in the evening, Guan Yu, who had changed into civilian clothes, came to the bank of the Yanliu River with dozens of sword-wielding guards.

The Yanliu River is still lit up and lively. It seems that this is a paradise, let him go through the vicissitudes of life, and the change of dynasty has nothing to do with here.

The boat boarded the large carved boat, and the difference was that there were no more high-ranking friends, and dozens of Praetorian Guards armed with swords walked silently on the deck.

"Say hello to the Lord of the North." A sharp-eyed Praetorian Guard leader knelt down on one knee to salute Guan Yu.

Guan Yu waved his hand and said, "You all withdraw, and the people I brought here will take over." ”

The little leader was slightly stunned, hesitating and not knowing how to reply.

Guan Yu's eyes widened and said, "What, can't you still trust the prince?" Let go of the woman on the boat, and the Sprinkle family will explain to the royal brother! ”。

The little leader swallowed, clasped his fists in salute, turned his head and glanced at his subordinates behind him, then turned and retreated.

Guan Yu glanced at the guards who followed him and glanced at them, and the guards quickly dispersed in understanding.

Guan Yumai stepped inside, and the faint fragrance emitted by a wisp of incense burner came to his face, which made people feel refreshed and relaxed.

A graceful figure is bowing his head and gently stroking the strings, and the sound of the piano is long, like crying.

Guan Yu couldn't help but stop and stood there listening carefully.

The sound of the piano stopped, and the girl said lightly without looking back: "The general is still here after all his busy schedule?" Are you here to persuade me to enter the palace early? ”。

Guan Yu took a step forward and said with a smile: "The girl misunderstood, although Guan was entrusted by someone, she had other plans in her heart. ”

This time it was the turn of the Ruyan girl to be surprised inexplicably, she slowly turned around, and her clear gaze swept over Guan Yu's face. He said indifferently: "The little woman listens attentively and is willing to hear the details." ”
