The plain hand of the Empress of the Han Dynasty was indeed pressed on the back of Su Zhe's hand.

It's just that she and Su Zhe stood opposite each other, blocking the people behind them, so those entourages didn't see this scene.

Su Zhe, as the person concerned, was really moved by Fu Shou's intimate action.

Looking at Fu Shou's eyes again, that expression, it was like a weak woman who had no trust and no support, begging her great husband to do her best to protect her.

"What's the situation, is this trying to win me over with beauty, so that I can do my best to die for you......" Su Zhe's thoughts were spinning, secretly speculating about Fu Shou's intentions.

He had to admit that Empress Dahan's gentle and intimate behavior was still very lethal, and if she was a man who was not strong, she might have easily captured her loyalty, and sacrificed her life to die for her and her emperor's husband.

It's a pity that Su Zhe is not so superficial.

His heart was like a mirror, but on the surface, he pretended to be flattered, and he was busy, and said angrily: "Niangniang rest assured, the minister will sacrifice his life to protect Niangniang and His Majesty, and he will not hesitate to pay any price." ”

A relieved smile appeared on Fu Shou's face, and he nodded with satisfaction: "With Su Qing's words, the heart of this palace will be steady, Qing should do what you should do, when he is free, this palace will invite Su Qing again, and our monarchs and ministers will talk well." ”

"Then the minister withdrew." Su Zhe bowed his hand respectfully and retreated.

Fu Shouyu stood in place, looking at Su Zhe's distant back, raised his hand lightly, stroked his face, and raised a smug sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Su Ziming, no matter how smart you are, you don't want to escape from the grasp of this palace......" Fu Shou smiled secretly, turned around and floated away.

Ahead.

Su Zhe had already strode out of the palace gate, and the moment he walked out of the Zhu gate, he let out a long breath.

He was not relieved by Fu Shou Fangcai's actions, but because the inner palace was not under his control, and if it was not a last resort, he actually didn't want to stay for a moment.

"Ziming, how is it, has the Son of Heaven agreed?" As soon as Su Fei saw him come out, he greeted him and asked anxiously.

Su Zhe smiled: "It's about his safety, even if the Son of Heaven doesn't understand, how can our queen not understand, how can she not agree." ”

"That's good, that's good." Su Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Zhe took a few steps away from the palace gate, and lowered his voice and admonished: "Although the Son of Heaven said that he would rely on it on the surface, he couldn't keep it in order, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he secretly wanted to switch to Liu Biao, from today on, second uncle, you have to keep a closer eye on me, if there is any suspicious trouble, report to me at any time." ”

"Ziming, don't worry, I'll stare at it, and make sure I don't blink my eyes." Su Fei stuck his finger in his eyes and made an exaggerated comparison.

Su Zhe was satisfied, beat his horse and whipped, and went straight to the Taishou Mansion.

……

In the next few days, Su Zhe stepped up preparations for the battle while waiting for Liu Biao's reaction.

Because Cai Shu had murdered Huang Yueying after all, it was impossible for Su Zhe to believe her words, otherwise if she was telling a lie, wouldn't she have exposed the trump card of the Son of Heaven in advance.

He had to wait until Cai Shu's words came true before he could react.

Three days later, the messenger from Xiangyang proved that Cai Shu did not lie this time.

The messenger brought a handwritten warrant from Liu Cousin, saying that he had received information from Guanzhong, and that the Son of Heaven had toured Luoyang east with Lu Bu Wang Yun and his entourage, and that he, Liu Biao, as a clan member of the Han family, could not sit idly by, so he decided to raise a large army to go north and go to Luoyang via Nanyang to escort him.

As for the route to the north, it is naturally through Fancheng, north to Xinye, through Wancheng to the northernmost Luyang area of Nanyang, and to take the route that Sun Jian entered Luoyang.

For Su Zhe, the Taishou of Nanyang, Liu Biao ordered Su Zhe to raise grain and grass in advance, collect rafts, and act as a logistical support for the northbound army.

As for the commander of this escort army, it is naturally expected to be commanded by Cai Mao, and at the same time, Liu Qi, as Liu Biao's representative, will also go north with the army, and after going to Luoyang, he will greet the Son of Heaven instead of Liu Biao.

As it turned out, Cai Shu was not lying.

Could it be that she really can't show her true feelings for those words to herself?

This brutal and willful lady of the world, who has always looked at people with eyes on the top of her head, really likes herself, a poor man?

From the moment he received Liu Biao's warrant, Su Zhe's heart was haunted by such questions.

It's just that dealing with Liu Biao at the moment and getting through the current difficulties is the most important thing, and Su Zhe has no intention of thinking more about these children's affections.

On the same day, the messenger from Jingzhou was sent away on the front foot, and he entered the palace again with Liu Biao's edict on the back foot.

After some discussion, Liu Xie, under the instruction of Fu Shou, personally drafted a holy decree, sent Fu Baolang Zubi to hold the festival, and rushed to Xiangyang in the starry night.

A few days later, Zubi crossed the Han River south and came to Xiangyang.

At this time, more than 40,000 elite Jingzhou soldiers had gathered on the south bank of the Han River, and hundreds of transport ships were also entering the ferry in a steady stream.

The Jingzhou army was already ready to go north, and they only waited for their lord Liu Biao to give an order, and they crossed the Han River in the mighty north and went straight to Wancheng.

Xiangyang City, the state pastoral mansion.

In the lobby, Cai Mao and Liu Qi were already wearing armor, and the two of them were sprinkled in the hall, explaining to Liu Biao his plan of how they would attack Wancheng and kill Su Zhe.

After listening to what they said, Liu Biao's face did not show a look of ambition, and his eyes looked at Kuai Yue, "Xeno, what do you think of their plan?" ”

Kuai Yue stroked his short beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "Subordinate Jue, in order not to arouse Su Zhe's suspicion, the time when the eldest prince and Cai Beijia led the army through Wancheng is best chosen at dusk, so that there is a reason to camp on the spot in a grand manner. ”

"Well, Xenomorph has a point, do you remember?" Liu Biao nodded, looking at Liu Qi and Cai Mao.

The two nodded yes.

Then, Liu Biao looked behind them again, the taciturn, national-faced general, when he saw him, Liu Biao's eyes revealed a look of trust.

"Zhongye, how sure are you that you can make a quick decision about the raid on Wancheng?" Liu Biao asked.

That military general is the indigenous general of Jingzhou who was promoted after Liu Biao killed Sun Jian, and he was born in the Wenpin of the late Jingxiang and other family scholars.

Wen Ping was silent, his eyes seemed to be silently calculating the strength of his opponent, his face did not change like stagnant water, and he couldn't see Cai Mao's confidence at all.

After a long time, Wen Ping gave up his hand and said: "Back to the lord, if Su Zhe is not suspicious, the end will be seventy percent sure that he can be quickly resolved, if he is suspicious and takes precautions in advance, the last general will only be forty percent sure." ”

"Well, it seems that the key to a quick solution is not to arouse Su Zhe's suspicions, you have to remember." Liu Biao told Liu Qi and the others again.

The two had to say yes again.

After everything was told, Liu Biao stood up, took a deep breath, slowly raised his hand, and was about to give the order to send troops.

At this time, the soldiers outside the hall hurriedly entered and shouted: "My lord, Fu Baolang Zubi has arrived outside the gate of the mansion, holding a scepter, claiming to be ordered by the Son of Heaven to come to deliver the decree to the lord. ”

Liu Biao's face changed immediately.
