Indeed, Liu Xin hasn't touched a woman for more than half a year, but he won't be interested in the four young maids in front of him, Liu Xin is not thinking about anything in his mind now, even for Ma Yun and them, he is more just endless thoughts, not **, Liu Xin is now thinking about how to go in the future,

After occupying Chang'an, Liu Xin's mind has changed, he can no longer give up Luoyang to the Kwantung Coalition Army two years ago, and then let Chang'an out, after many years of operation, although Jingzhou has been very prosperous, but after all, it is located in the south, and Si Li is the center of the Han Dynasty,

Now, Wuguan, Sanguan, Xiaoguan, Hangu Pass and the entire Guanzhong, as well as Hongnong County are already in his hands, the road from Chang'an to Xiangyang has been opened, and the transmission of information has not been hindered.

"Sir, it's time for dinner." Suddenly, a soft voice interrupted his thoughts,

This voice is obviously not the four little maids, but it is somewhat familiar, Liu Xin opened his eyes, and saw Yan Rui changing into a water-green dress, smiling and standing aside, and said strangely: "Yan, why are you still ......?"

He was going to ask, "Why are you still here?" Immediately thinking that he had said that he would take their mother and daughter back to Xiangyang, where could they go if they were not here, Liu Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, since the time has come, let's all go to dinner." ”

Yan Rui lowered her head and walked in front, constantly fiddling with her clothes, her face was uncertain, thinking about what Liu Xin wanted to say at the beginning, she changed her clothes today, she used her brains a lot, now, she already knows about Lu Bu's death, it stands to reason that she should change into plain clothes, but for fear of making Liu Xin angry, naturally she can't do that, after all, the surnames of her mother and daughter are pinched in his hands, but if she wants her to wear gorgeous clothes to please Liu Xin, she will never will, That's why I finally changed into this aqua green dress,

There were a few tables in the back hall full of dishes and a jar of wine, because there were no popular chairs in Chang'an City, Liu Xin had no choice but to sit down cross-legged, pointed around a few cases, and said, "This place is big enough, you can also sit down and eat together." ”

Several little maids' faces were red, but they all twisted and refused to sit down, these maids have been waiting for people since they were children, and they understand all kinds of rules very well, like their identity, there is only one situation to be able to accompany the male host to eat together, that is, the male host has a little meaning to her, for them, the waiter includes many aspects, warm the bed, sleep together, for the master to vent** are their part of the business, although they have not experienced it, but they have seen a lot, but like now, The master ordered the four of them at once, and he had to add a Yan clan, this situation is unique, is this new master so powerful, can he eat the five of them at once,

Who knows, what surprised them was still behind, Liu Xin turned to Yan Rui and said, "By the way, call your daughter Lingqi over to eat together." ”

Yan Rui hesitated, but still agreed and turned around and walked out,

Liu Xin saw the four little maids standing there with red faces, you push me, I push you, humbly refused to sit down, couldn't help but sink her face, and said, "Why, refuse to give me face." ”

When the four of them saw Liu Xin's face change, they couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly sat down.

Liu Xin smiled and said: "Well, this is like words, you see, so many dishes, I can eat them alone, if you don't eat together, wouldn't it be a waste, hurry up and eat, I still have a lot of things to do after eating, by the way, take away this jar of wine, I don't drink." ”

While talking, Yan Rui brought Lu Lingqi over, saw that Liu Xin didn't do anything to a few maids, remembered what Liu Xin had said to her that night, and also put her mind at ease, and pulled her daughter to sit down opposite,

Liu Xin was taken aback for a while, then looked up suddenly, and saw a trace of resentment flashing in the eyes of Lu Lingqi's little girl, and couldn't help but be startled, and blurted out: "Lingqi, your father can be said to have died at my hands, do you hate me very much, and always want to seek revenge on me one day." ”

Yan Rui was so frightened that she quickly pulled Lu Lingqi to her knees and fell to the ground, knocked her head with a "knock knock", and said in a loud voice: "Master Mingcha, there is absolutely nothing to do, Lingqi is just a child, she doesn't understand anything, how can she hate the master." ”

The four little maids were also frightened when they saw this scene, and their hands holding chopsticks kept trembling, and they didn't dare to move.

Liu Xin waved his hand and said: "You all get up, how can I worry about a child, Lingqi, it is normal for you to hate me, after all, it is because of me, you have lost your father since then, and your mother has lost her husband since then, but I want to tell you that there is no personal grudge between me and your father, and I haven't even said a word, everyone is just in different camps, it is a life-and-death struggle, if one day, I fall into the hands of your father, presumably he will not spare my surname, when will I repay my grievances, If I look at the past, let it pass. ”

Yan Rui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, let it pass, Lingqi, tell the master, you don't hold a grudge against the master, never." ”

Lu Lingqi shook off her mother's hand and stared at Liu Xin without saying a word.

Liu Xin touched Lu Lingqi's head, and said with a smile: "What a stubborn girl, if your father had half of your backbone, he might not die, okay, you hate me, I can't do it, I hope that one day in the future you can understand, as long as you want, I can recognize you as a daughter to make up for the pain caused by the loss of your father, of course, I can't replace your mother's loss of her husband, that would be disrespectful to her, how about it, you think about it and answer me." ”

In the past two days, Liu Xin has figured out that the reason why Ma Yun ordered to kill Lu Bu was not because Lu Bu said a few words, but because he was worried about Lu Bu's capricious surname, if it was replaced by him, he would also order Lu Bu to be killed.

However, for Yan's mother and daughter, what attitude Ma Yun will take, Liu Xin is a little uncertain, although in the past, after some people who opposed Liu Xin were removed, most of their wives and daughters became official slaves, and the subordinates used in the state pastoral mansion are these people, but these people are all weak women and do not know martial arts, so there is no need to worry about what chaos they will create, however, according to some legends, Lu Bu's daughter later practiced martial arts and became a female general, if this is the case, Leaving her behind may become a time bomb, and who can be sure that she will avenge her father in the future, so Liu Xin wants to try to resolve the grievances between the two parties before returning to Xiangyang, so as to leave their mother and daughter's surname.

Yan Rui didn't wait for Lu Lingqi to speak, and said in a loud voice: "She is willing, she must be willing, Lingqi, call Dad, call quickly." ”

Although Lu Lingqi still refused to speak, but in the face of Liu Xin, who was smiling, the hatred in her eyes had subsided for the most part, Liu Xin knew that if time came, one day the grudge between the two sides could be resolved, so she smiled and said: "It is normal for a child to have a tender face, and it is normal to not be able to speak for a while, I will treat you as my good daughter in the future, you have to be obedient, okay, let's continue to eat." ”

Yan saw that Liu Xin was never angry, and finally let go of the heart that mentioned his throat, lowered his head and picked up the meal, and did not forget to glare at his daughter complainingly, the four little maids saw that there was no such storm as they imagined, and they all envied Lu Lingqi, and they couldn't understand why her life was so good, and she was able to get the favor of the master, but she didn't know the blessing in the blessing, if the master could recognize them as goddaughters, even if it was the kind that wanted to go to bed, they would not hesitate to agree,

Liu Xin naturally wouldn't want them to go to bed, she didn't even need to warm the bed, and slept alone until dawn.

Most of the things have been dealt with, and the news of the capture of Wuguan has also reached Chang'an, Liu Xin started to think about returning to Xiangyang, whether to return to Xiangyang or attack Luoyang, Liu Xin couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he summoned Chen Gong, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Kuai Yue and asked them to discuss.

As soon as everyone sat down, before they had time to get to the point, they heard a report from the soldiers outside the door: "Lord Qiqi, General Xu brought a person back from Hongnong overnight and asked to see him outside the door." ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but shake his head, Xu Huang has been talking more and more about humility recently, and he doesn't want to call him big brother, even if he doesn't call him big brother, every time he comes over, he insists on letting people report first, and he refuses to change it after saying it a few times, so he has to go, Liu Xin raised his hand and said, "Hurry up, please." ”

Xu Huang walked into the hall, first arched his hand at everyone, and then pointed to the full favor behind him, and said: "Lord Qi, this person is a strategist under Cao Ying, the surname is full of pet word Bo Ning, the old said that he had a lot of friendship with the last general, and after the last general persuaded him, he came to join the lord, and Mr. Bo Ning still has important military information to report to the lord. ”

Although this person is not a powerful strategist under Cao Ying, he is also a little famous, Liu Xin has naturally heard of it, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Berning, Liu is polite, Mr. traveled overnight, the journey is tiring, what is the better to wait for a while to rest before it is too late." ”

Man Pet saw that Liu Xin was in a high position at a young age, but he did not have any arrogance, first had a good impression of three points, and heard that he was not in a hurry to ask about important military information, but cared about his body, and added five points of gratitude, and most of his heart turned from Cao Ying to Liu Xin, Man Pet threw Liu Xin to the ground, and said: "Thank you for your concern, your subordinates can still bear it, but the military situation is urgent, and you can't delay, some time ago, Meng Degong asked Liu Xie for three edicts, the first one was given to Yuan Shao of Hebei, and he was allowed to be a general. Let him send troops to recruit Gongsun Zhan, the second part was given to Yuan Shu of Runan, so that he sent troops to capture Nanxiang and Jiangxia County, and the third part was given to Yan Baihu of Yuzhang, pardoning his rebellion, sealing him as the Marquis of Wu, and ordering him to raise troops to attack Changsha, Meng Degong ordered Cao Ren to attack Yique Pass, of course, it was just a feint, and he himself personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Xiangyang. ”
