"Liu Ce, are you back?"

"General Liu, are you really going to go on another expedition?"

As soon as they returned to the backyard of the Military Governor's Mansion, Jiang Ruoyan and Song Yanran, accompanied by Xia Miaoyin and Xue Moyi, each wore yellow and white light shirts to greet Liu Ce. Vertex Says X 23 U OM

During this period of time, Song and Jiang and the two daughters unexpectedly got along very well, Jiang Ruoyan taught Song Yanran poetry and songs, and Song Yanran made some pastries and meals for Jiang Ruoyan from time to time, and the exquisite cooking skills made Jiang Ruoyan, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, also sincerely admired, and soon the two were called sisters, so that Liu Ce did not worry about their affairs.

Liu Ce smiled lightly at them, nodded to Xia Miaoyin and Xue Moyi, looked at the second daughter again and sighed: "No way, the king's life is hard to disobey, I am working hard......

said intentionally or unintentionally, spread his hands, but eased the originally more solemn atmosphere a lot.

Song Yanran pouted when she heard this, and muttered: "Really, I just came back from the battle, and I have to go on the expedition in less than a month, isn't there anyone in the whole Zhou who can fight except for you?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoyan glanced sideways at Song Yanran, couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and shook her head gently.

Song Yanran caught a glimpse of it, and immediately teased Jiang Ruoyan: "Sister Yan, you can have fun secretly, this time the emperor summoned you to Beijing to add the general's wife, you can accompany you all the way, and accompany General Liu more, I'm good, hey......"

"You......" Jiang Ruoyan gently stroked her hair, her beautiful eyes were light, and her mouth was spitting out Youlan, "Don't worry, when Brother Liu comes back from this expedition, he will be the first to marry you, and my sister will not rob you of ......"

When Song Yanran heard this, her pretty face turned red and hurriedly said, "Who said that I promised to marry him?" Sister, you're making fun of me again......"

Saying that, he gently kicked his toes, his face was full of shyness, and the women present and Liu Ce couldn't help but smile.

After playing for a while, Jiang Ruoyan looked at Liu Ce and said, "Liu Ce, let's go into the house, the meals are ready......

"Hmm......" Liu Ce responded, "Let's get together, it's rare to get together, and by the way, I have something to explain to you." ”

With yes, the five people gathered around Liu Ce and walked towards the inner hall together.

A table of dishes had been prepared, and when the five of them were seated, the attendants who served around them poured their drinks for each of them, and then they all withdrew, leaving them alone to eat.

After eating quietly for a quarter of an hour, Song Yanran couldn't help but ask, "Brother Liu, where are you going to go this time?" ”

"Heyuan ......," Liu Ce said quietly, "a full 5,000-mile journey......

"Five thousand miles...... It's tens of thousands ......of miles back and forth," Song Yanran heard this, muttering softly, as if calculating something.

Seeing this, Liu Ce smiled lightly at him and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll come back soon......"

Song Yanran said "um", then looked at Jiang Ruoyan, held her hand and said solemnly: "Sister Yan, you must take care of Brother Liu." ”

Jiang Ruoyanyu covered the back of Song Yanran's hand with her hand, and smiled sweetly: "Sister Song, don't worry, I will definitely take care of his ......"

"Ahem......" Hearing them say this, Liu Ce couldn't help coughing twice, "What are you doing here?" This military governor is such a big man, do you need anything to take care of? Relax your ......"

When Jiang Ruoyan and Song Yanran heard this, they felt that the atmosphere was too solemn, so they hurriedly let go of their clenched hands, and each of them pursed their lips and smiled, and the atmosphere became active again.

Liu Ce said to Xia Miaoyin again: "Miaoyin, when I am not here, you can accompany Yanran more, she has a wild temperament, she can't bear loneliness, talk to her more, it's ...... hard."

"What did my brother say? Miao Yin will definitely take good care of Miss Song, you don't need to worry about it, brother-in-law. ”

In the past few days, Xia Miaoyin has lived in the Military Governor's Mansion, only to find that Liu Ce's two future wives are quite kind-hearted, and they don't treat themselves as outsiders at all, so they naturally settle down, and at the same time, she is also very useful for the comfortable atmosphere of Yong'an, so that she cherishes all this now.

"That's good......" Liu Ce sighed in his heart, then looked at Xue Moyi, raised his glass and said to her, "Miss Xue, between you and Yanran, you don't need to say anything more, this is your home, you don't need to be restrained ......"

Xue Moyi was flattered, and hurriedly raised his glass and said to Liu Ce: "Thank you Lord Military Governor for taking me in, Moyi is grateful, I will accompany Sister Song more, please Lord Military Governor doesn't need to worry about this......"

"Then I'll rest assured......" Liu Ce raised his glass and drank it all.

"By the way, Liu Ce ......" Jiang Ruoyan sandwiched a piece of fried fish meat for Liu Ce, and asked casually, "I heard that the commander of the capital to lead the army to Heyuan this time is Ruoyan's cousin, Shi Zongjie, is it really fake?" ”

"Pop ......"

As soon as Jiang Ruoyan's words fell, Xue Moyi, who was picking up vegetables, fell unsteadily on the table with chopsticks, causing others to look sideways.

"Sister Xue, what's wrong with you?" Song Yanran asked strangely.

"No, it's nothing......" Xue Moyi prevaricated a few words casually, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat the food on the plate silently.

Liu Ce didn't care, and said to Jiang Ruoyan: "Yes, this is also what I feel strange, Ruoyan, has your cousin ever led a soldier?" Even once......"

When Jiang Ruoyan heard this, he shook his head and said: "No, my cousin and I haven't had much contact since we were children, and the relationship is very dull, but every time I see him either going against someone chanting poems in the poetry club restaurant, or copying the monuments of the ancestors at home and leading the soldiers, Ruoyan has no ...... in his impression."

"Alas......" Liu Ce sighed and said, "This court is really getting more and more strange, actually sending a scholar to lead the troops into battle?" Could it be that he is a military wizard like Ban Dingyuan or Chen Qingzhi who abandoned his pen and threw himself into the army? ”

Jiang Ruoyan said in surprise when she heard this: "Ban Dingyuan? Chen Qingzhi? Liu Ce, why have I never heard of such a person? Who are they? ”

Liu Ce felt speechless, and pretended to be calm and said: "It's nothing, it's just some allusions, I'll explain it to you later, but according to your words, this Shi Zongjie has never led troops, never been on the battlefield, and never stayed in the barracks, such a person took hundreds of thousands of main forces north to relieve the siege, Ruoyan, what do you think are the chances of victory?" ”

Jiang Ruoyan thought for a while, and said a little lonely: "Although Ruoyan doesn't know anything about military affairs, with his cousin's ability, if there is no miracle, it will be nine deaths and one life......"

"Hoo ......"

Xue Moyi, who was on the side, suddenly got up and knelt down at the dinner table, and bowed heavily to Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan, this sudden move suddenly overwhelmed everyone present.

"Miss Xue, what are you doing here?"

"Sister Xue, what's wrong with you? Hurry up......"

"Miss Xue, if you have something to say......"

In a surprised voice, Song Yanran and Xia Miaoyin stepped forward to help Xue Moyi up, but they didn't want Xue Moyi to kneel on the ground and refuse to get up, and when they looked up again, their faces were full of pear blossoms, and they looked pitiful.

I heard Xue Moyi say: "Lord Military Governor, can I ask you for something?" ”

Liu Ce said lightly: "Miss Xue, let's talk about something......

"No......" Xue Moyi couldn't cry anymore, "Lord Military Governor, I lied to you and everyone, in fact, my name is not Xue Moyi, my real name is ......"

Speaking of this, the kneeling man paused, let the tears slide down his cheeks, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said to Liu Ce: "My real name is Xue Ruyuan, I beg the Lord Military Governor to take me to Heyuan together, I want to see Shi Lang, please, Lord Military Governor!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xue Ruyuan, who was alias "Xue Moyi", bowed to Liu Ce and Jiang Ruoyan again.
