In the tent, the golden beast copper furnace burned with a large dipterocarp incense, the fine fragrance overflowed, which can ward off evil and repel insects, the little maid fish just fell asleep, and was woken up by the two people on the bed, she knew what Zhou Xuan and Xiahou tassels were doing as soon as she heard it, and they had been in Mingyulou for a long time, and these were already familiar.

I heard Miss Tassel keep whispering: "Childe-Childe-", Zhou Gongzi was silent, only heavy gasps, seemed to work hard, the bed vibrate, and then Miss Tassel couldn't make a clear name, and hummed in her throat-

The little maid Yu'er thought to herself: "Miss Tassel seems to like Zhou Gongzi more and more, this is a little wrong, according to my opinion, Lian Changgongzi's meaning is not necessarily to reconcile with Tang Guo, should he lead Zhou Xuan to Qingyuan to kill Zhou Xuan?" No, if you want to kill Zhou Xuan, you can kill it a long time ago, presumably to deceive Zhou Xuan not to block trade - oops, why is this Zhou Xuan endless, Miss Tassel is about to die, if it weren't for my well-informed, I really think how painful Miss is, whether she wants to die or live! ”

After a long while, the bed finally quieted down, and the little maid couldn't bear the sleepiness, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Xiahou Tassel couldn't sleep for a long time, snuggled in Zhou Xuan's arms and listened to his strong heartbeat, and his heart was full of gratitude to Zhou Xuan: "Gongzi is so good to me, the two ladies took me there without bringing them, in order to let me see my hometown Jianzhou, but I have been deceiving him, where am I from Jianzhou, I am from Quanzhou, my father Xiahou Yun is a seven-grade lieutenant under Chen Duhu, I came to him is a conspiracy, he has never suspected me, and trusts me so much——"

The more Xiahou Tassel thought about it, the more ashamed she became, she felt so sorry for Zhou Xuan, and she had a strong impulse in her heart, wanting to confess all this to Zhou Xuan, begging Zhou Xuan for forgiveness, she was willing to serve Zhou Xuan for life.

Xiahou Tassel raised his head, listened to Zhou Xuan's slight snoring, and said in his heart: "I will confess to Gongzi early tomorrow morning, Gongzi may be very angry, and I will bear it if I want to beat or scold, as long as Gongzi doesn't drive me away." After thinking about it: "Ouch, no, Lan Lianchang is also here, if I confess, if the son is angry, won't it affect him!" It seems that I will only confess to Gongzi after Gongzi and Chen Duhu have concluded a peace treaty, anyway, I Xiahou Tassel is a child's person in this life. ”

Xiahou Tassel figured it out, settled down with one heart, and fell asleep with Zhou Xuantian in his arms.

In the second half of the night, when it was the best time to sleep, the sound of horses' hooves came from the north, from far and near, and stopped thirty feet away, and there were sergeants on the night patrol who were drinking lowly, and there was no sound after saying a few words.

After a while, someone came to the tent where Zhou Xuan was and whispered, "Master Hou, Master Hou-"

After all, Xiahou Tassel is a martial artist, and he is more vigilant, although he was tossed by Zhou Xuan in the first half of the night and his body was sore, sleepy, but at this time, as soon as he heard the sound outside the tent, he immediately woke up, and was about to wake up Zhou Xuan, but he heard the man outside the tent say: "- Master Hou, there is an urgent military situation from Qingyuan." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiahou Tassel's heart trembled, his body did not dare to move, and he felt faintly uneasy.

Zhou Xuan sat up and responded, "Wait a minute." He dressed himself, quietly got up and got off the ground, lifted the curtain, and asked in a low voice, "What emergency military situation?" ”

The man said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the humble official to come overnight to report to the Hou Ye, Chen Si'an's rebellious heart is revealed, and the Hou Ye does not have to go all the way to Qingyuan." ”

"What!" Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly raised, and then lowered his voice: "Let's go to the river and speak, softly, Lan Lianchang is in the tent over there, don't let him feel it." So saying, he went out of his tent and went with the man to the river.

Xiahou Tassel's heart was pounding, she didn't want to be a spy and didn't want to eavesdrop on Zhou Xuan's conversation, but the words revealed by the person who came to report were obviously very important, it was about Qingyuan Chen Duhu, what happened, would Prince Li Jian let Zhou Xuan not have to go to Qingyuan?

Xiahou Tassel hurriedly tied his skirt and put on a small coat, walked barefoot to the tent curtain, and looked out through the gap, under the hazy starlight, Zhou Xuan and a soap-clothed man were standing on the river bank thirty steps away to talk.

Xiahou Tassel held his breath and listened to the conversation between Zhou Xuan and the soapy man, although they were seven or eight zhang away, and the two of them spoke very softly, but in this quiet night, they could still hear clearly with Xiahou Tassel's ear power.

I only listened to the soap-clothed man: "Master Hou, yesterday evening, His Royal Highness the Prince received a secret report from Pan Yujiao of Xianxia Mountain, saying that Chen Si'an intends to join forces with Wu Yue Qianmu to invade our Tang Kingdom, Chen Si'an's intention to rebel has been revealed, there is no need to talk to him about any trade, he is delaying the army——"

Xiahou tassels are cold, Pan Yujiao is the patriarch of the Pan family, one of the four surnames of Shanha in Fujian, Pan Yujiao actually betrayed Chen Si'an and had a connection with the Tang State, Qingyuan wanted to join forces with Wu Yue to invade the Tang State, is this true?

Xiahou Tassel's body trembled as if he was cold, and Zhou Xuan said angrily: "There is such a thing? Chen Si'an is too treacherous, wouldn't I go to Qingyuan to fall into the mouth of a tiger! ”

Soapy man said: "The Hou Ye is on guard, how can he be afraid of him Chen Si'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lin Duhu made a plan overnight, and they could capture and kill Chen Si'an in one fell swoop." ”

Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice: "What's the plan?" ”

Soapy clothes said: "Hou Ye pretended not to know anything, continued to go south, and then asked Chen Si'an to meet in the Xianxialing area at the junction of Tingzhou and Zhangzhou, in order to reassure Chen Si'an, Hou Ye can cross the border to the Zhangzhou side, during the interview, see how the people around Chen Si'an are, if there is no particularly powerful master, let the third Mr. Hou Ye next to him, subdue or kill Chen Si'an, if there is a master around him, then don't act rashly, for fear that in case of injury to Hou Ye, Hou Ye uses the body of ten thousand gold, there is no need to take this risk, has other ways to deal with Chen Si'an-"

Zhou Xuan asked: "What's more?" ”

Soapy clothes said: "Chen Shilang's new army, as well as Yong'an, Baisheng Duhufu three roads a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses ambushed in Xianxialing near Tingzhou, when the Hou Ye and Chen Si'an talks are over, they will suddenly kill, only a hundred miles apart, and will soon be able to catch up with Chen Si'an, of course, Chen Si'an is definitely prepared, and the soldiers and horses brought will not be less, but our army has the help of the Pan and Lei clans, cutting off Chen Si'an's retreat, even if Chen Si'an kills the bloody road and escapes with his life, I am afraid that he has been greatly injured. ”

Zhou Xuan praised: "Sure enough, it's a good plan, Chen Si'an wants to fool me, blind his dog eyes, just do it, let Lan Lianchang follow stupidly, and when the time comes, catch him and force him to surrender, the Lan family is very influential in Fujian, haha, those who sent it to the door still think they have a plan - come, follow me to see General Chen Ji, and we will discuss it secretly." ”

Zhou Xuan and the soap-clothed man went to the tent where Chen Ji and General Qi lived, and it was quiet all around, only the river was bubbling and flowing.

Xiahou Tassel sat back on the couch, in the middle of summer June, but his body trembled slightly.

"What to do? What to do? Xiahou Tassel asked himself in his heart: "Is it really a hypocrisy and a plan to delay the army when Chen Du protects Zhou Gongzi to meet?" Well, it is very likely that Chen Duhu is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, Chen Duhu also went to Wu Yue in person last autumn, so it is very likely to be true to say that he joined forces with Wu Yue, but the two surnames Pan and Lei betrayed Qingyuan and secretly surrendered to Tang Guo, which Chen Duhu never expected, this is too deadly! ”

Xiahou Tassel had a dry mouth, poured a cup of mint tea into the teapot and sat on the edge of the couch to drink, her heart was a mess, she knew what to do, but she didn't want to do that, she thought: "I should tell Lian Chang Gongzi about this immediately, I can't follow Zhou Xuan south, Zhou Xuan may arrest him at any time, and I must let Chen Duhu know about the rebellion of Pan and Lei Er as soon as possible, and we must be strict and find a way to eliminate Pan and Lei Er." ”

But Xiahou Tassel also understands that once she does this, from now on she and Zhou Xuan will have a completely hostile relationship, she can no longer stay by Zhou Xuan's side, and serving Zhou Xuan for the rest of her life will become a dream and a fantasy.

A tear drops into a teacup, and a small cup of water can ripple!

Xiahou's tasseled eyes were full of tears, and as soon as her eyelashes blinked, tears slid across her face, dripping from her pointed chin to the teacup she was holding in her hand, for a long time, she suddenly drank the mint water and tears in the cup in one gulp, put the teacup back in its place, and lay back on the couch, she made up her mind, she waited for Zhou Xuan to come back.

Zhou Xuan didn't come back until dawn, stood outside the tent and said loudly: "Tassel, get up and hurry, it's time to pack up the tent." ”

Xiahou Tassel and Little Maid Yu'er walked out, and saw that the three idiots, Chen Ji, and General Qi were all with Zhou Xuan, and even Chang Gongzi came over and saluted Zhou Xuan.

The sergeant put away the twelve tents one by one, loaded them on the wagon, boiled hot water in the marching pot, and the people ate the soup cakes and got on their horses and hurried.

In the carriage, Yu'er saw Xiahou Tassel's frowns, so he asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiahou tassel said: "It's nothing, there is something to report to Gongzi Lianchang, there are many people, I can't find a chance, can the fish have a way?" ”

Yu'er said: "It's more difficult for Miss to meet with Gongzi Lianchang, Miss is Gongzi Zhou's concubine, and her every move is eye-catching, so let Yu'er go and tell Gongzi Lianchang, what's the matter with Miss?" ”

Xiahou Tassel shook his head and said: "I have to tell Gongzi Lian Chang in person about this, don't worry, I can always find an opportunity." ”

Yu'er said: "Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to Gongzi Lian Chang first, it should be a good time to camp at night, and the sergeants are very busy." ”

In the evening of this day, Zhou Xuan and his entourage came to De'an County and set up camp on the outskirts of the city.

Xiahou Tassel finally waited for the opportunity, saw Lian Chang Gongzi behind a small forest, and asked: "Lan Gongzi, is it true that Lord Du Hu asked Xinzhou Hou to meet him?" ”

Gongzi Lian Chang saw that Xiahou Tassel's face was pale and worried, and he knew that Xiahou Tassel must have heard something, so he said: "This is a plan to delay the army, what did you hear about the tassel, did Zhou Xuan notice it?" ”

Xiahou Tassel was silent for a while, and then told Lian Chang Gongzi what he heard last night, which made Lian Chang Gongzi stunned, and he came down in a cold sweat, and muttered: "Zhou Xuan's dog thief is so vicious, he wants to capture and kill Lord Du Hu in one fell swoop, it's too poisonous!" ”

Xiahou Tassel heard Lian Chang Gongzi scolding Zhou Xuan, he felt very uncomfortable, and said coldly: "Eryu I am cheating, I can't talk about poison or poison, Lan Gongzi quickly get an idea, what should I do?" ”

Lian Changgongzi's heart was in a big mess, he didn't pay attention to Xiahou's tasseled tone, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he said hatefully: "What else can I do, of course, I should leave here quickly, and rush back as soon as possible to let Lord Duhu first clean up the two clans and the Lei clan, and if the troubles are not eliminated, how to fight for the world!" ”

Xiahou Tassel's heart tightened, and he asked, "Will you leave tonight?" ”

Lian Chang Gongzi said: "It's good to be a moment earlier, Zhou Thief may arrest me at any time, by the way, you continue to stay with the tassel, Zhou Xuan is not suspicious of you, it is still useful for you to stay by his side." ”

Xiahou Tassel was deeply angry that Gongzi Lian Chang still wanted to use her, she didn't want to be a spy anymore, and sneered: "Lan Gongzi doesn't say goodbye, won't Zhou Xuan be suspicious of me?" If you want me to stay, you will send me to death. ”

Lian Changgongzi's eyes sharpened, and he shouted: "Xiahou Tassel, are you talking to me like this?" ”

Xiahou Tassel twisted his face to the side, watching the sun set, and the twilight gradually shrouded.

Lian Chang Gongzi sneered: "You have made a great contribution this time, and you will have a heavy reward for protecting the adults after you go back, but we will leave like this, is it cheap to kill the Zhou thief, or you will kill the Zhou thief tonight, anyway, my Qingyuan and the Tang State have become fire and water, and it is inevitable to cut off trade, simply kill the Zhou thief, it will be a major blow to the Tang State, the Zhou thief is now the first celebrity in the Tang court, and Li Jian's henchman, King Jing has already asked me to get rid of the Zhou thief." ”

Xiahou Tassel was so angry that his face turned red, Zhou Xuannian and Lian Chang Gongzi were Fujian clans, and they didn't say that they wanted to kill Lan Lianchang, and Lan Lianchang wanted to kill Zhou Xuan before leaving, which was never allowed, and said: "If you want to kill Zhou Xuan, it's not my ability, if Lian Chang Gongzi has a way, he can do it himself." ”

Lan Lianchang was furious, he didn't know martial arts, Xiahou Tassel was obviously mocking him when he said this: "Xiahou Tassel, could it be that you also want to learn from the Pan and Lei Er clan to betray Lord Duhu?" Did you like it last week? ”

Compared with the pain in Xiahou Tassel's heart, she didn't care about Lian Changgongzi's threatening tone at all, and said lightly: "If I betray, I won't come to tell you about it, Zhou Xuan didn't suspect me, I can be his concubine, but I didn't do that, I am from Quanzhou, I am from Qingyuan, Zhou Xuan knows that he loves his hometown Xinzhou, how can I betray Xiahou Tassel!" Later, the tone was fierce.

Gongzi Lian Chang was silent for a long time, and said: "Then leave Zhou Xuan's life, otherwise, if we don't kill him, we won't be able to leave, let's go tonight, if we are separated on the road, we will meet at the pontoon ferry outside Hongzhou City." ”
