Chapter 71: Wishful Thinking Is Unsatisfactory

Duan Xuehong was just about to follow Liu Zongmin, when she suddenly turned around, sneered at Yuan Chen, and said, "It seems that General Liu has no interest in you." When you go to the north, are you not accustomed to the title of the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River? Ha ha! With that, he walked away.

Yuan Chen was stunned in place, and it took a long time to calm down, feeling that his chest was suffocating, and he couldn't breathe. Ignore the snow-red ridicule and ridicule. What's going on with this Liu Zongmin? Will you take the fraud to the extreme? Not only did he invite the king into the urn to annihilate the hostile party in one fell swoop, but also killed the rebel party who was not loyal to him. What a big show. However, the only female character in this play, who is also the heroine, is her Yuan Chen.

Thinking of this, she lost the interest of escaping from the cityβ€”in fact, there was no chance of escapingβ€”and she snorted and stepped on her horse and followed Liu Zongmin's team. The team had just gone through a vicious fight, exhausted, and moving slowly. Yuan Chen chased after him, and after a while, he caught up with Liu Zongmin, who was walking in front.

"General!" Yuan Chen came to his side and said rather angrily, "Congratulations to the general for coming back to life." ”

"Oh?" Liu Zongmin was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this call, he opened his eyes and looked at her.

"Bold!" Seeing this, Duan Xuehong on the side hurriedly shouted, and wanted to raise her sword to stop her. Unexpectedly, Liu Zongmin waved his hand to make him retreat, and said with a smile: "Why did Miss Chen say that? ”

"The general has good acting skills." Yuan Chen said, "The fraud is taken to the extreme. Kill two birds with one stone. ”

"Haha," Liu Zongmin laughed out loud and laughed for a long time before he said, "The reason why I'm not interested in women is because I always feel that they are just for their own considerations, and they are coquettish and cheap, which makes me despised." To be honest, I thought you were the same thing, but I didn't expect you to be quite funny in what you talk and do, which is very much to my liking. In this way, now that the day has passed the fourth watch, you and I will go back to rest first, and when the rest is over, tomorrow at noon, I will invite you to come to my front hall for dinner, and we can talk carefully, how about it? ”

"This ......" Yuan Chen didn't expect his angry words to change the other party's attitude like this, and he was undecided for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"What else?" Liu Zongmin seemed to be a little dissatisfied, "I praised you just now, and you twisted it." Is it my duty that I have lost my eye? ”

"No, no, no," Yuan Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The general is so loving, I will definitely go on time." ”

"That's right." Liu Zongmin smiled with satisfaction when he saw her agree.

I didn't say anything all the way, and I went back to the house. Although he had experienced a lot in the middle of the night, Yuan Chen had no sleep. Kimono lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight on the lattice, thinking back on the bizarre experience along the way, imagining even more bizarre experiences in the future, until the window paper shone slightly, and then fell asleep.

At noon, Liu Zongminguo did not break his word, and someone came to invite Yuan Chen to go. Yuan Chen packed up and left.

came to the front hall where Liu Zongmin cheated to death last night, but this time was different from that time, there were many servants and maids in the front hall, and there were many guards and generals. However, they all stood on both sides, and there were only two seats on either side of the huge table. On one of the chairs, Liu Zongmin was sitting upright. Seeing Yuan Chen coming, he didn't get up, but made a "please" gesture with a smile and motioned for her to sit down. Yuan Chen hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and sat down in a proper manner.

Miss Chen can come on time, and Liu feels that there is light on his face. Come, I'll toast you first. Liu Zongmin saw Yuan Chen sit down, raised his wine glass, said a clichΓ©, and then drank it all.

Yuan Chen sneered and raised his wine glass, but he didn't dare to toast, just took a sip.

Liu Zongmin stared at her cautious appearance and laughed.

"Miss Chen doesn't have to be so restrained, we are here today, just drinking and chatting, and there is nothing else. If you accidentally drink too much, you can ask someone to help me back. Feel relieved. ”

Yuan Chen had no choice but to nod and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Cool!" Liu Zongmin gave a thumbs up. The maid on the side hurriedly filled the wine glasses of the two.

"Miss Chen is really different from the women I've seen. By the way, how did you get to my house? Liu Zongmin asked.

Yuan Chen was stunned for a moment, looked around, and saw that there was no Duan Xuehong figure around, so he groaned for a while, and told the beginning and the end. Of course, she omitted Wu Ruojie's role, and only claimed that she was a member of the Zangchun Pavilion. Because he saw Liu Zongmin ask like this, he thought that he had seen too many women, and his memory was skewed. In this case, even if Duan Xuehong and Liu Ming had explained their ins and outs to him, I am afraid he would not remember it.

Sure enough, when Liu Zongmin saw Yuan Chen say this, he seemed to try his best to recall, but he didn't seem to recall the reason. So he nodded and said, "Sure enough, her background is bizarre, and she is a strange woman in the world." ”

"I don't dare to be surprised." Yuan Chen hurriedly said, "It's just that he has a rough life." ”

"Haha." Liu Zongmin raised his wine glass again and said with a smile, "I met me today, don't dare to say anything else, just call the road behind you a flat river, galloping across the country." ”

"That'...... Thank you General Liu for your love. Yuan Chen had a total in his heart, what did the other party mean? But he didn't dare to think about it, so he hurriedly raised his wine glass and drank it all with him.

went back and forth like this, although he didn't say anything heartfelt, but he drank so much. The two of them began to drink at noon, and only stopped when they saw that their heads were turning westward. Yuan Chen is a modern person, and the alcohol he has drunk is many times higher than the alcohol content of ancient wine, and although he drank it all afternoon, he was able to sit firmly. But Liu Zongmin, who was already extremely excited after the victory of the war, was also extremely tired, and drank too much, so he was already lying on the table unconscious.

An Ping, who had been accompanying her by the side, stepped forward and tried to help Yuan Chen up, but she didn't expect to be pushed away. Yuan Chen staggered to his feet, walked around the table, walked to Liu Zongmin's side, helped him up with all his strength, and then walked to the room behind the front hall.

"Miss!" An Ping exclaimed.

"General!" The others were also amazed.

Yuan Chen suddenly turned around suddenly, with a majestic look in his eyes, stared at everyone for a long time, looked down at everyone, and then said, "The general is drunk, and now he needs to rest, which of you dares to be presumptuous?" Who dares to bother? Hugh blames the general for punishment after resting! After speaking, he helped Liu Zongmin into the house.

The crowd stood stupidly outside the door, at a loss. An Ping was still clever, and hurriedly ordered: "Leave a few partial generals to guard, and the others should retreat and rest." With that, he walked into the antechamber and closed the door.

The so-called one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, and everyone sees that Yuan Chen has already gone to bed, so who dares An Ping's words? So they all did it.

An Ping entered the front hall, knocked lightly on the door of the back room, and asked slowly, "Miss, do you need help?" After a while, only to hear the sound of the door, Yuan Chen walked out, made a "shhhh

"Miss, you ......" An Ping seemed a little surprised and said.

Yuan Chen looked at her, suddenly the corners of his mouth rose, smiled coldly, and said, "An Ping, it seems that you and I are next to a big tree." ”

"Miss, what do you mean by that?" An Ping hurriedly leaned down, seeming to be very interested.

Yuan Chen smiled again and said, "Fortunately, this Liu Zongmin is drunk, so I have the opportunity to stage such a scene with him." Otherwise, you will really sell yourself. In this way, everyone will think that I am his woman, and in this period, under one man, above ten thousand, but not very good? ”

"Yes, Miss." An Ping stroked her palms and smiled, "This strategy is really thorough, and it doesn't leak." ”

"It can't be said that it is leaky." Yuan Chen pondered for a moment and said, "What if Liu Zongmin often wants to be with me in the future?" ”

"Ahh An Ping screamed, stroked her forehead, and felt a little anxious.

"Don't be afraid." Yuan Chen raised his hand, stopped her, and said, "Either that's it, I pretend to be insulted by the drunk Liu Zongmin tonight, and swear to die, and I will also make a clear appearance of wanting to die to thank my innocence." In this way, it is very likely that Liu Zongmin will no longer want me to be his companion, and I am happy to go back to my previous residence with you, but everyone will not dare to ignore the fact of this night because I left Liu Zongmin. In this way, there is no worries, and the second is nothing, so why not do it? ”

"Great." An Ping said happily, "Miss's plan is really seamless." ”

"So that's it?" Yuan Chen winked at An Ping and said, "Ming said that you have to cooperate with the tacit understanding." ”

"Definitely!" An Ping laughed and went to fetch a basin of water, finished washing up for Yuan Chen, and accompanied her to squeeze and sleep on the maid's bed in the side room.

Before dawn the next day, Yuan Chen got up, with the help of An Ping, messed up his hair, tore his clothes, and quietly came to Liu Zongmin's room, sat on the edge of the bed, and rubbed his eyes fiercely, making his eyes red and swollen.

Then, An Ping deliberately opened the door and made a loud noise. Liu Zongmin was startled in his sleep and opened his eyes.

"I ...... Where am I? Liu Zongmin muttered, turned over, and was taken aback when he saw Yuan Chen, who was sitting on the edge of the bed crying.

"You...... Why are you here? ”

Yuan Chen glanced at him and didn't reply, but he cried even more.

"Why are you crying?" Liu Zongmin said strangely, "Could it be that I didn't entertain well last night?" ”

"General!" Yuan Chen glanced at him again, his red eyes were full of grievances, and said, "It's not that the general is not inhospitable, it's just that the general only cares about his own fun, but he doesn't care about the little woman's net worth and surname." Last night...... You, you let the little girl live and die, but how good! After saying that, he cried loudly.

"Huh?" Liu Zongmin was taken aback and asked, "You mean, I bullied you last night?" ”

"The general has already done this, so why should he ask again?" Yuan Chen said a word and cried again.

"But...... But ......," Liu Zongmin said, rubbing his hands, "how could I be like this? ”

"General!" Yuan Chen cried, "The general is here to say nothing, and no one can justify it." If the general thinks that the little woman is slandering you, then the little woman said it in vain, and it is counted as if last night's incident did not happen. So saying, he got up and ran out of the house.

The sound of An Ping opening the door just now had woken up the soldiers who had been groggy all night outside the door, and the maids and servants also walked into the courtyard so that Liu Zongmin could call them at any time. But before Liu Zongming could be found, Yuan Chen ran out crying in tattered clothes and fluffy sideburns, which surprised everyone.

After a while, Liu Zongmin also followed barefoot and shouted, "Stop Miss Chen, don't hurt her!" ”

Everyone obeyed the order and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but no one dared to touch her. Seeing this, Yuan Chen was secretly happy in his heart, but he cried even more, and shouted: "If the general thinks that the little woman is not telling the truth, and is calculating the general with the heart of a villain, then it is better to let the little woman die, and it is better to return her innocence." As he spoke, he was about to hit the tree.

"No, no, no!" Liu Zongmin said a few "no" words and said, "I don't mean that!" ”

Yuan Chen still didn't give up: "So what? You insulted me last night, and although I wanted to be innocent, my body was filthy, and I never wanted to live! As he spoke, he was still begging for death.

"Ahem!" Liu Zongmin stomped his feet and said, "Okay! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have treated Miss Chen like this, it's all because of the drunken surname. In that case, I can't compensate Miss Chen. I just hope that Miss Chen can enjoy herself in my house safely, and Liu promises that she will never do it again. How is it? ”

Yuan Chen saw that the goal was so easily achieved, and cried a few more times like an act, before being helped down by An Ping and a few other maids.

Liu Zongming looked at Yuan Chen's back, but narrowed his eyes and sneered.

Returning to their previous residence and sending away the other maids, Yuan Chen and An Ping rolled onto the bed with a smile. Finally a glimmer of freedom in this gilded cage. It seems that for a period of time, Liu Zongmin should not come to disturb them again. But now the only thing that worries them is that the Ming army has been defeated in front of the battle, and the gate of Zhuozhou has been opened, so will Liu Zongmin be suitable to set off? If they take action again, will their stability be overdone again?

Although the two were worried, fortunately, after three days, they still did not hear the news that the army was going to continue to advance north, but heard that Li Zicheng's eastward army had been obstructed and had stagnated. Although Liu Zongmin received an order for reinforcements, for some reason, he did not move. On the third day, a small group of men and horses were sent out of the city through the west gate. At the same time, Liu Ming returned.

When it was slightly dark, Liu Ming flashed into Yuan Chen's courtyard, tapped the window, called Yuan Chen to the courtyard, and said, "I have heard Duan Xuehong explain the truth, her strategy is indeed perfect. ”

"I know that wasn't what you intended." Yuan Chen said coldly, "But you are indeed resolute, and I am still alone in the hotel." ”

"It's me who is not good." Liu Ming bowed his head and said, "But there is a reason for it, and the order is hard to resist." ”

"Forget it." Yuan Chen said, "I didn't blame you. ”

"That's fine," said Liu Ming, "how have you been?" Has General Liu summoned you? ”

"Him?" Yuan Chen smiled secretly in his heart, but said, "Why didn't he summon me? He also insulted me when he was drunk. The intention of saying this, of course, is also to let Liu Ming know that she is now Liu Zongmin's person, but don't beat her again.

"What?" Liu Ming was taken aback like five thunderbolts, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, General Liu was drunk and confused and insulted you?" ”

"How not?" Yuan Chen said, "Everyone can testify!" ”

"But I can also testify," said Mr. Liu, "that General Liu would not be like this." ”

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Chen said disdainfully, "Just because you are his cronies?" ”

"There are also cronies," Liu Ming said, "and that Xuehong didn't know about it." ”

"What?" Yuan Chen asked.

Liu Ming groaned for a while, gritted his teeth, and seemed to have made a lot of determination before he said: "When General Liu attacked the city once, he was injured in his crotch, and he had already lost his function as a man. ”

"What?" After Yuan Chen heard this, his eyes widened and he was taken aback.
