Li Sheng sat on the bed in a daze, motionless, like a stone sculpture, his whole body was extremely stiff. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info What he was thinking, Zhao Yun didn't know. As soon as she remembered the madness of last night, two red clouds quickly flew up her cheeks. She was shy and wanted to retract back into the quilt, but the corner of the quilt was tightly held in Li Sheng's hand, she lowered her head and secretly pulled it a few times, so she had no choice but to raise her head and find Li Sheng's stupid appearance.

"What are you thinking?" Facing her lover in a daze, she was bold, just got up and sat down and pressed her body tightly to Li Sheng's body.

What happened last night was really shocking, although she was very sincere to Li Sheng, but she didn't think about giving herself to him so soon. However, everything happened so naturally, and he didn't resist too fiercely, which is the real reason why Li Sheng was able to succeed. Maybe that's what you and I want, at least I didn't regret what happened last night when I got up here.

At this moment, she was gently lying on Li Sheng's shoulder, naughtily blowing the orchid-like aroma.

"I'm thinking about your brother." Li Sheng's current reaction is undoubtedly a little sluggish. Zhao Yun lay on his body for a long time before he spit out such a simple answer.

"My brother's business?" Zhao Yun listened to Li Sheng's answer, and her body stiffened obviously. She was a little stunned, because she couldn't think of any connection between what happened on her side today and her brother.

"Isn't he trying to propose to my brother?" Suddenly, this thought popped up in Zhao Yun's head, making her face even hotter. The so-called eldest brother is like a father, if Li Sheng really wants to marry him, then thinking about how to mention it to Zhao Yun is indeed a question that should be considered. "But ......, is that really possible?"

Looking at Li Sheng from the side, Zhao Yun happened to see his frowning appearance, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart: "If he really wants to propose, then it seems that he shouldn't frown right now!" Could it be ...... He thought ......" Zhao Yun thought of a terrible result when she suffered from gains and losses, and her mood suddenly fell from heaven to hell. Hot tears kept rolling in his eyes, and even the words he said were slightly choked with pity: "You don't want to abandon me, do you?" "She's an innocent person, and she only uses it when she's naughty. For this matter related to her own happiness, she is very direct to the point.

"Where ....... Since something like this has happened, of course I will be responsible. At first, Li Sheng was a little stupid to say such things, but when he found that the tears on Zhao Yun's face did not stop because of his words, he suddenly reflected on it, of course he understood that his words could not satisfy her. Watching a usually shrewd and capable strong woman suddenly turn into a pitiful little with tears rippling, I'm afraid that people with a heart of stone will also be completely softened at this moment. Li Sheng's head was running rapidly, and he recalled the disgusting "romance dramas" he had watched before, and he had to stick them to Zhao Yun's ear as a dead horse doctor and said: "I love you, will we get married in Changsha when we come." ”

"Ah......h Suddenly she burst into laughter, and although there were still a few tears on her face, the smile on her face was as bright as a flower. "Are you telling the truth? Isn't it like I'm dreaming? She asked with her eyes closed. All this was undoubtedly what she expected the most, but at this moment, she didn't believe that such an expectation would be placed in front of her all at once.

"Naturally, it's true, who wouldn't love a cute girl like this." Li Sheng looked at Zhao Yun's little face gently and said. The original unease was dissipating little by little in the conversation between them, and for the first time, he was able to say that love to a woman other than his wife so smoothly. Of course, this is in the case of his own intention for the other party.

"That's there......" The girl is easy to be shy after all, even if Zhao Yun usually behaves strongly, but in this situation. Under Li Sheng's scorching gaze, she turned her head with a flush, but she was a little afraid to see anyone.

At this time, lying on the other side, Rose trembled slightly. She had already woken up, but she heard Li Sheng and Zhao Yun's happy words, which made her still close her eyes tightly. Although she was born as a Shanyue woman, she was a little more timid and shy than the average Han woman under her father's Sinicization education since she was a child. When Li Sheng and Zhao Yun both woke up, she didn't know how to face them. She had no solution to this problem, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.

However, she had no experience in pretending to be asleep after all. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes moved slightly, and it was obvious that she was listening attentively to the conversation between Li Sheng and Zhao Yun.

Originally, she was lying on the side and was not afraid of others finding out, but Zhao Yun's sudden turn of head saw her appearance clearly.

"Brother Sheng, what should you do if you marry my sister Rose? Today...... It's ...... today," she said, glancing lightly at Rose. Although she and Rose have not known each other for too long, in the case of the two of them in the army, the two of them have already known each other as if they were sisters. She didn't know how Rose felt about Li Sheng, but now that Rose and herself were generally "eaten" by Li Sheng, she naturally felt that Li Sheng had to take that responsibility. After all, if you "eat" it and leave it alone, it is too pitiful for the docile Rose.

"Huh? That's what you say. Her father naturally handed her over to me, and I had to take care of her anyway. Although the two of us have not known each other for the first time now, it is difficult to say that they have any feelings for each other, but now that they are like this, the only way to do this is to pass her through the door first. As for feelings or something, as long as she doesn't hate me too much, then you can take your time. Li Sheng didn't know that Rose had also woken up, and he answered Zhao Yun's question very seriously.

"That's good......" Zhao Yun stuck out her tongue cutely, and then continued to ask Li Sheng as if she remembered something: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, why are you thinking about my brother's affairs." ”

"Well, this one!" Li Sheng snorted and was about to fool around casually, but when he saw Zhao Yun looking at him with a monotent face, he couldn't say that nonsense at the moment, so he had to explain to Zhao Yun very seriously: "What happened last night should have happened after marriage, I did it in a daze, but I don't know if Brother Zilong will blame me for this." ”

Hearing Li Sheng talk about last night's incident again, Zhao Yun's face was red again, she lowered her head lightly, but she said carefully: "How can it?" My brother cares about me the most. When he stayed with you, he actually knew that I liked you. ”

"Ah......" It was Li Sheng's turn to be surprised again, but it was only a short moment, and after being surprised, the joy that was full of joy quickly surged up: "Is this true?" ”

"That's ...... Naturally, ......" Zhao Yun said shyly, and her words gradually weakened.

The two were silent for a while.

After a long time, Zhao Yun broke the silence again.

"Brother Sheng, do you think Sister Zhong will agree to our marriage?" Zhao Yun was still a little worried. Although she is a few years older than Deng'er, because Li Zhong married Li Sheng first, she naturally has to call Li Zhong her sister according to etiquette.

“…… There should be no problem. Thinking of his wife's gentleness and loveliness, Li Sheng's heart ached first, and a little guilt immediately came to his heart, and he felt that he was very sorry for his wife. Although for various reasons, this "wrong thing" still has to continue to be wrong.

"Really?" Zhao Yun was still a little unconvinced, and when she heard Li Sheng's slightly hesitant answer, the worry in her heart seemed to surge a little more.

"Really!" As soon as he heard the suspicious question, Li Sheng immediately understood where his mistake was, although at this moment he had some doubts about whether Li Zhong would agree to this matter, but in front of the two newcomers, he said the affirmative answer very certainly.

"Then I'll be relieved......" Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reassured? Well? You can rest assured, but I can't. Although Li Sheng frowned on the surface, his heart was still tense inside. As the main "prisoner", he has always been worried about his wife's reaction when he finds out about this.

"I can't be fearless like this. I've been thinking about it all the time, but I can't come up with a solution, and I'll have to get someone to help. The more he thought about it, the more frightened Li Sheng quickly got off the couch and put on his clothes. He didn't want Rose and Zhao Yun to worry about him, so he said to them very kindly: "I'll go out to deal with some things, you still have to rest here, and I'll let the maid bring the meal later." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yun nodded heavily, although he didn't know what problems Li Sheng still needed to solve in the current environment where everything was stable, but seeing that Li Sheng was in such a hurry and panicked, she still didn't drag him and let him go. As a woman who has worked with Li Sheng for a long time, she naturally understands how important it is for those of them who have big ambitions. She lay on the couch sideways, and watched Li Sheng carefully cover herself and the rose with a silk quilt, and then turned to leave, leaving only a back in her eyes. The back was so tall that for a while, she was stunned.

Li Sheng hurriedly came out of the room and found Pang Tong at once. Although Pang Tong was doing his favorite thing in the back garden of the Taishou Mansion at that time-drinking, Li Sheng, who had already been dizzy by the problems in his heart, couldn't manage so much, so he immediately snatched the wine jug in Pang Tong's hand and put it away, and asked directly. Because he was anxious, Li Sheng didn't talk a lot, but quickly finished the matter, and then asked directly: "What do you think I should do now?" ”

"How? It's not good for me to ask that. Anyway, it's all about your own family. Pang Tong shook his head and refused, and then stretched out his hand to Li Sheng: "Lord, give me back the wine." I'm uncomfortable without alcohol. What do you think? Please. He replied a little righteously in the previous words, but when it came to the wine that was snatched by Li Sheng, he suddenly looked a little humble. Although his personality is not like this, he just likes to play tricks so that others have no way to deal with him.

If it was at an ordinary time, Li Sheng might have left him like this. But right now, Li Sheng is upset by himself, how can he be like this? At that moment, he tightly covered the wine jug and turned his body aside: "If you want wine, you have to help me find a way." What is just the family affairs of the lord, and the family affairs of the lord may also affect the military and politics. Do you want me to give up the opportunity for family affairs like Yuan Shao? Li Sheng said loudly, and his words were a little sloppy.

"Well...... That's right. Pang Tong groaned slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face: "It's just that you've found the wrong person, lord." I can't figure out the love of this man and woman, let me solve it, I don't have this concept. ”

"You don't have that concept?" Li Sheng's eyes glared at the boss suddenly, "You are my military advisor." I'm not looking for you, who are you looking for? Anyway, it's on your side. You're going to have to help me out. I just need to see the results, and I don't care what kind of means you use in it. He said very arrogantly.

"How can this be?" Pang Tong wailed and hung his head down: "Okay then. I'll take care of it for you. But this wine ...... Can you give it back to me first? ”

"Pay you back? That's fine. Li Sheng was overjoyed when he saw that Pang Tong promised to help him find a way, and immediately returned the wine jug he had taken to Pang Tong. As long as you help me do this, the day I take a concubine, I will give you as much wine as you want to drink in Surabaya. Li Sheng knew that Pang Tong had such a habit of drinking, so he used these words to induce Pang Tong on the spot, so that he could be more dedicated to his request.

"Really?" Hearing that there was an opportunity to drink good wine, the joy on Pang Tong's face was only unobstructed. I saw that he glared at the eyes that were not much better than beans, took the things sent by Li Sheng, and then muttered: "It seems that I have to ask Kong Ming for help in this matter." Although that guy's head is not much smarter than mine, and he may not be able to think of a solution to the problem, her wife can undoubtedly help me in this matter. Anyway......" he said, his voice getting quieter, but he swallowed a sip of wine and confused his mouth.

"Is this your way?" Li Sheng smiled slightly, stood up and left gently. Although Pang Tong has already said the solution, Li Sheng does not have the idea of solving it himself. He lazily thought that since he had already entrusted this matter to his military advisor, then he would just have to come back to him in a few days to ask him about the tension of the matter. As for now, let's continue to enjoy ourselves.

After a few days in a daze, Li Shengjun, who had just experienced a big battle, was repairing in Wuling. Because there is nothing too urgent in Changsha, Li Sheng is not in a hurry to go back, and he is in happiness when the next things are dealt with. In the company of Zhao Yun and Rose, he was a little happy.

However, at this time, Pang Tong found Li Sheng, dragged him from the two beauties with a strange expression, and said to Li Sheng mysteriously: "Lord, there is a letter from Changsha." There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad, I don't know if the lord wants to hear the good first, or the bad first? ”

Li Shengyu, who was violently pulled by Pang Tong, was still a little confused at this time, he had already guessed a little about the good news, but he didn't have any clue about the so-called bad news, "Could it be that something happened to Changsha?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, he was not in the mood to make trouble with Pang Tong at the moment, and a smile on his face was gathered in an instant, and he asked Pang Tong very seriously: "What is the good news?" What's the bad news? ”

"The so-called good news is that the matter you asked me to ask for has been resolved. Through Kong Ming's mother-in-law's explanation to the master's mother, the mother-in-law seems to have approved of your decision. Seeing that Li Sheng's face became serious, Pang Tongzi couldn't continue to make trouble, he was also solemn, and honestly reported everything to Li Sheng: "As for the bad news, it was sent from Jiangbei by Mr. Yi, saying that the lord's recent achievements have been a bit big, and some of the bureaucrats in Xiangyang have begun to be jealous of the lord. They slandered the lord in front of Lord Liu Biao, although Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were on the side to protect the lord, but when the news of the reconciliation between the lord and Shanyue reached Jiangbei, Lord Liu Biao also had doubts about the lord. I heard that they will send a patrol after a while to inspect the situation in the counties under their rule on behalf of Lord Liu Biao. The post supervisor who was responsible for inspecting the lord's way was the person from Liu Qi's son's side. Although I don't know who it is, I still ask the lord to prepare early. ”

"Oh? Suspicious of me? Li Sheng stood up with some annoyance when he heard this, and then quickly sat down again, the seriousness on his face replaced by a helplessness. I saw him shake his head gently, but he said to Pang Tong with a little annoyance: "It seems that Lord Liu Biao is really not a person who has achieved great things?" The bird doubted the quality of the bow and arrow, and he was really like the legend. Shi Yuan, what do you think we should do next? It's not a good taste to be under the fence. As he spoke, he couldn't wait to discuss things with Pang Tong.

"Does the lord have the strength to stand on his own now?" Pang Tong asked with a smile.

"If I have the strength, will I still be troubled here? I don't have masochistic tendencies. Li Sheng shook his head gently.

"If you can't move forward, you can only go back. At present, only repentance is our best choice. The lord has only been in Changsha for a little more than half a year, and his grasp of Changsha has not yet reached a comprehensive level, and his own strength is not complete. Pang Tong suggested to Li Sheng with a wry smile.

"So how exactly are we going to do it?" Li Sheng hurriedly asked. He knew that Pang Tong was the kind of person who was full of wit, and although he only knew the news a little earlier than himself at the moment, it was very likely that he had thought of a solution to this problem in this short period of time. Yes, he looked at Pang Tong with burning eyes, waiting with bated breath for him to give his final answer.

Sure enough, not long after Li Sheng's questioning ended, Pang Tong already had a rough answer: "Lord Liu Biao's suspicion of the lord is likely to be only a slight sign at the moment. It itself is mainly based on the combat power displayed by our army and the continuous achievements of the lord. In order to dispel such suspicions, first of all, the lord should lie dormant, mainly deal with political affairs, and deal less with the affairs of the army, and the expansion of the army can only be carried out in secret. Although we must have a strong army if we want to dominate the world, in this situation, we cannot blindly expand the army and further arouse the suspicion of Lord Liu Biao. Secondly, the lord himself should be a little more decadent, and should find some fun to make an obsessive appearance to confuse those who are seriously injured. No one would be wary of a person who likes pleasure, and Wang Qian, the general of the pre-Qin Dynasty, also used this method to reduce the lord's suspicion of himself. Again, the lord should let Mrs. Zhong'er go to Xiangyang, stay there for a while, and use her advantage as the righteous daughter of Lord Liu Biao to say some good things for the lord there. After all, we have too few mouthpieces in Xiangyang. ”

"Hmm...... Well......" Pang Tongyi said Li Sheng as he listened, and nodded when he got to the right point. For the first two points in Pang Tong's good advice, Li Sheng felt that it was correct, so he was happy to accept it. But for the third point of "sending his wife to Jingzhou", Li Sheng frowned tightly: "Can you not do this?" Although Pang Tong did not directly say what the real purpose of sending Zhong'er to Xiangyang was, Li Sheng clearly understood that he suggested that he send his wife to Xiangyang as a hostage.

"The lord is like this, and Lord Liu Biao will rest assured. Although the relationship between the lord and the mother is quite deep, at the moment, the lord is still asked to focus on major matters. Seeing that Li Sheng rejected him, Pang Tong understood that Li Sheng already knew the content of his third suggestion, and he knew that Li Sheng valued the relationship with his wife very much, and could not bear to be separated from his wife, so he persuaded Li Sheng from the general righteousness.

"It is true, but it is the duty of the husband to protect the family and defend the country in the world, and those who do great things should stand without informality, but if a house is not swept, how can the world be swept away, and how can a family not be protected to protect the country. I, Li Sheng, will never exchange my wife and concubine for my own safety. Li Shengyi said solemnly. At this moment, he has spoken heavily, and the rejection is irreversible.

"Alas...... Case...... Then we'll have to start planning again. Seeing that the lord refused so firmly, Pang Tong had no choice but to sigh and decided to find another way. In fact, as a courtier, he didn't want to come up with such a strategy, using the safety of his master mother as a means of action, but in the current situation, he had to do so. Liu Biao's suspicion of Li Sheng's rise is much stronger than what Pang Tong said to Li Sheng, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are only chaotic and have no effect at all.

Although the information from Kong Ming in Changsha did not define the change of things, Pang Tong saw it from a handwritten letter attached to Kong Ming: Liu Biao seems to have planned to lay a big net to trap Li Sheng, and the reason why he has not done it immediately is because Li Sheng's reputation is over there, and Liu Biao's personality is not enough to list "unnecessary"; The two of them are scruples to stand firmly behind Li Sheng, and the strength of the Jingxiang celebrities represented. Liu Biao's own rights are even the support of Jingxiang's local celebrities and wealthy families, celebrities provide him with prestige and popularity, and the wealthy families provide him with troops and money and food, for Liu Biao these are the two pillars that support him to stand up. Whatever he did, he had to be aware of their reactions. As far as the current situation is concerned, Sima Hui and Pang Degong, who are the representatives of Jingxiang celebrities, are obviously on Li Sheng's side, while Liu Biao has not yet convinced them.

"We still have some time to prepare, but it may not be much time." Pang Tong thought to himself in his heart. The reason why he didn't make the seriousness of the matter clear to Li Sheng at the moment was because Li Sheng was still in the "newlywed" at the moment, and after the successive battles, Pang Tong was very considerate to hide the matter a little. He was trying to settle the matter before Li Sheng didn't know much about it. He wanted to prove his abilities with this. Regarding Kong Ming's appointment as the main army division by Li Sheng, although he usually doesn't say it, he still cares a little bit in his heart.

"I've got to figure out something better." Thinking of this, Pang Tong secretly added strength in his heart. His mind spun rapidly, and he fell into deep thought.

"Shi Yuan, why do you think Lord Liu Biao suddenly became suspicious of me? If it's just for the sake of my being too sharp, it would be unconscionable. After all, I've fought all small battles, and my reputation shouldn't have been so public. Hearing Pang Tong tell him so much, Li Sheng has been thinking about the cause of this morale there, but he doesn't have much information in his hands at the moment, and he has rarely seen the information he has obtained from Luo Zhao, who has been intoxicated with gentle township practice in the past few days, so naturally he can't see through everything at once. He couldn't come up with an answer on his own, so he had no choice but to turn to Pang Tong for help. He thought that if the news that Pang Tong got came from Changsha, then Kong Ming in Changsha would definitely reveal some of the cause and effect of this incident. Maybe because of time, Kong Ming himself doesn't know the beginning of the matter very clearly, but through the detection of intelligence, the slightest clue can still be seen. And what Li Sheng needs now is undoubtedly this clue.

"In fact, it is indeed impossible to say that the reason for suspicion is only because the lord's sharpness is exposed. Although the lord is a little more publicized at the moment, but since the position of Lord Liu Biao can still be rewarded, generally speaking, Lord Liu Biao will not be unfavorable to the lord. However, recently, the news that the lord had a secret meeting with Lord Liu Bei came out of nowhere, which made Lord Liu Biao very nervous. After all, as far as the entire Jingzhou is concerned, the only one who can replace Lord Liu Biao is the recognized Lord Liu Bei. Lord Liu Biao is now old, and the two sons left behind are very young, and he will not say anything about Lord Liu Bei on the surface, but secretly he is very concerned. At this moment, since such news has come out, Lord Liu Biao is worried that the lord will join forces with Lord Liu Bei, so he will first think about guarding against the lord. Who made the lord the weakest in the eyes of everyone? Pang Tong listened to Li Sheng's question, smiled slightly, but combined the situation sent by Kong Ming with the opinions of himself and Kong Ming, and told Li Sheng one by one.

"I see." Li Sheng listened to Pang Tong's reasonable explanation, and suddenly realized in his heart: "Because Lord Liu Biao knows about me and Liu Bei, he is worried that I will cause trouble in the south at the same time as Liu Bei's rebellion in the north, so he suspects me. He had a different view of many of the things I had done right: for example, when I reconciled with Yamagoe, he probably thought it was a preparation for me to collude with Yamakoshi to rebel against him. Lord Liu Biao has been very worried, so he thought about solving me first and then solving Liu Bei. ”

"That's right." Pang Tong nodded heavily, and then said: "If you want to get through this current hurdle, the important thing is how to make the doubts in Liu Biao's heart disappear and make him feel at ease. This is also the intention of my original three points of advice from the county lord. ”

"I see. While I still won't agree with your third suggestion, I already know what to do next. It was also easy to dispel Lord Liu Biao's doubts. At least I have a plan in mind now......" Li Sheng said with a smile. At this moment, he regained his initial self-confidence.

"What's the plan?" The curiosity in Pang Tong's heart was aroused by Li Sheng, and he hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing ......, you'll understand when we meet in Changsha." Li Sheng smiled and made a mysterious appearance. He sold a pass and deliberately did not fully announce the plan in his heart.

"Lord, you ...... too" For a lai like Li Sheng, Pang Tong has no way after all.
