Chapter 15: The Way to Save Yourself?
Seeing the expression that suddenly became shy, Liu Feng realized that it was relatively indecent to be naked like this, so he hurriedly turned his back and picked up the blood-stained robe. Just as he was about to put it on, Huang Yuemei inadvertently saw the blood-soaked bandage on his back.
"Wait." Huang Yuemei took his hand, and her shy face showed a little distressed, "Your wound is cracked, I'll help you re-bandage it." ”
"This ...... I'll figure it out myself, I see you're tired too, so let's rest more. Liu Feng said casually.
"It's okay with me, you can sit down for a while."
Huang Yuemei straightened her clothes, tied up her scattered black hair with a thin thread, and left the cabin for a while, and when she came back, she already had a few more rolls of bandages and a bottle of golden medicine in her hand.
Liu Feng silently let her deal with the wound, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, which made him really excited.
"Eldest Prince, you obviously didn't hear any movement at that time, how did you know that the enemy's cavalry was about to kill?" Huang Yuemei behind him asked curiously.
Liu Feng came back to his senses from the plan he had conceived: "The speed of the sound in the earth is much faster than the invisible air, and I also heard the sound of horses' hooves from the ground, so I judged that a large group of cavalry was coming. ”
Huang Yuemei's eyelashes blinked a few times, obviously she didn't seem to understand Liu Feng's explanation, but this did not affect the expression of adoration on her face, although Liu Feng, who had his back to this expression, could not see it.
"It's really remarkable that the eldest prince has such a resourceful decision at his age." Huang Yuemei immediately expressed her admiration in words.
As a man from modern times, Liu Feng's ability to judge women can be said to be innate, and from the short period of contact with Huang Yuemei, the second lady of the Huang family seems to have been grateful and admired for herself as a life-saving benefactor.
If that's the case, why not go with the flow?
If he can marry Huang Yuemei and become the son-in-law of the Huang family, it will be equivalent to climbing into a relative with Zhuge Liang, with this kinship as a guarantee, if he behaves a little more "peacefully", maybe Zhuge Liang will not instigate Liu Bei to kill himself in the future. In turn, Zhuge Liang's attitude was extremely influential on Liu Bei, and without his support, Liu Bei might not have forcibly killed himself.
Liu Feng hatched such a plan to save himself in his heart, but he immediately thought that this strategy must not be a foolproof strategy.
'For the emperor, they are all ruthless, Huang Yuemei is just Zhuge Liang's sister-in-law in the end, and it is not yet known whether this relationship alone is enough to change his mind. As long as Zhuge Liang does not explicitly oppose it, even if he only maintains a silent attitude, Liu Bei will still be determined enough to kill me at that time. ’
Although this strategy is not perfect, it is at least the best way that Liu Feng has thought of at the moment, and if he can't think of a better plan, he might as well give it a try.
"Miss has won the prize. In fact, if you talk about scheming, what I admire most is Ling Zun Huang Gong, if I have the opportunity, I will ask him for more advice. Liu Feng lost no time in complimenting her father Huang Chengyan.
Although Liu Fenggui is the eldest son of the Liu family, you must know that the Huang family is one of the top scholars in Jingzhou, and a famous daughter like Huang Yuemei who was born in a strong family is not something that can be married if you want to.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shi clan has developed to the point where the rulers are in awe. With Liu Bei's current situation, if the Huang family wants to marry him, not only Liu Feng, but even Liu Bei naturally can't ask for it, but if the Huang family doesn't have this will, even if Liu Bei personally goes out to talk about the matchmaker, it will be useless, and the Huang family has the strength not to give Liu Bei face.
Therefore, even if Liu Feng has this idea, he can only take it step by step and try his best to figure it out.
Huang Yuemei is a woman, of course, she can't understand the foresight in Liu Feng's heart, in her opinion, Liu Feng's admiration for her father is of course from the bottom of her heart, she is very useful as a daughter, and she is secretly proud in her heart, but she said: "My father has always loved talents, and the eldest prince has extraordinary qualifications, and after settling down in the future, he can come to the house as a guest, and his father will definitely like to lecture with the eldest son." ”
Listening to her tone, it seemed that she wished that she could visit her house often, Liu Feng had a little bottom in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will visit in the future, and I will not be afraid of the lady's disgust." ”
"How so?" Huang Yue smiled with a smile.
Outside the cabin, the river breeze is slow, the waves crash on the shore, and in the moonlight, this army, which has experienced many defeats, is silently marching towards the destination.
A day later, at dusk, Liu Feng had just visited Liu Qi, who was recuperating from his injuries, and his own soldiers came to report that Xu Shu had boarded the ship and was waiting for him on the foredeck.
This time, Cao Ying's army went south, although Liu Cong, as the pastor of Jingzhou, explicitly ordered all the civil and military forces of the seven counties of Jingxiang to surrender to Cao Ying, but many of Liu Biao's old troops refused to obey his orders, either fled, or defended themselves.
Among them, more than 20,000 sailors stationed in Xiangyang, only most of them were absorbed by Cao Ying, but more than 2,000 people refused to surrender to Cao, and took dozens of warships to Jiangxia to surrender Liu Qi, but were intercepted by Guan Yu's navy halfway, and surrendered to Liu Bei.
Since arriving in Hanjin, Xu Shu has been assisting Guan Yu in the collection of the newly surrendered naval army, and fortunately, he has not experienced the horror of the battle of Hanjin before.
Goodbye at this time, as soon as I saw Xu Shu, he smiled and said: "Eldest son, the lord has heard about your feat of 'flying in the air', and he praised you for your bravery in front of everyone." ”
Liu Feng has actually always wanted to keep a low profile, only in this way will people not feel that he is a threat, as for the so-called "flying jump", it is just a last resort for survival.
Liu Feng reluctantly squeezed out a little smile, and laughed at himself: "Any feat, it is all forced out, sir, don't make fun of me." By the way, I haven't asked my father for a long time, and everything is fine with his old man. ”
Xu Shu nodded and said, "The lord is all right, I came this time on the orders of the lord to see how the eldest prince's injuries are recovering." ”
Xu Shu is an indispensable advisor by Liu Bei's side, if it is just to visit him, he will never bother Xu Shu to go, Liu Feng suddenly realized that Xu Shu's arrival must have other intentions.
"My injuries are no longer serious, and my husband told my father not to worry about them. Sir, I would like to know what my father plans regarding the next move of our army? Liu Feng pulled the topic to what he cared about.
"The eldest prince is here, please." Xu Shu pulled Liu Feng forward a few steps, tried to stay away from the cabin, looked around and had no ears and eyes, and then lowered his voice and said: "I really don't hide it from the prince, I also have a purpose here to convey the secret order of the lord to the eldest prince." Ming said that before arriving at Xiakou, the lord guild personally came to this ship to visit Zide Gongzi, and the prince should prepare in advance, once the lord hinted, he would capture Zide Gongzi on the spot and put him under house arrest on the spot. ”
Hearing Xu Shu's secret order, Liu Feng's heart suddenly shook.
