Chapter 428: Who Sent It?
Holding the table with both hands, leaning forward slightly. Looking at Deng Zhan, who was standing in the hall with his fists folded, Liu Wei always had an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.
Holding his fists and bowing to face Liu Bian, Deng Zhan had already finished what he wanted to say in his heart, but Liu Bian didn't give him half an explanation about the battle that allowed the dragoon guards to avoid the battlefield, just stared at him silently with a smile on his face.
Being stared at by Liu Wei for a while, Deng Zhan only felt as if he had crawled several caterpillars all over his body, unspeakably uncomfortable, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, he raised his head slightly and peeked at Liu Bian.
Seeing Liu Biao holding the table and looking at him, Deng Zhan hurriedly lowered his head again like a thief, and secretly regretted in his heart why he was impulsive to talk to Liu Biao about these things.
After staring at Deng Zhan for a long time, Liu Wei pressed his hands on the table, stood up, and walked straight towards the hall door. When he passed by Deng Zhan, he said in a very calm tone: "General Deng should go back and rest early, so that he can train the dragoon guards, and this king will definitely be of great use in the future!" ”
Dropping this sentence, Liu Wei walked straight out of the front hall.
He didn't tell Deng Zhan that he was going out to Handan City tomorrow. Deng Zhan was able to show his dissatisfaction with the transfer of this battle in front of him, and Liu Wei was already willing to snub him for a while.
Deng Zhan, who was born as a swordsman, did not know that obedience was the most important quality in the army like other generals under Liu Wei.
Deng Zhan, who is used to being idle, has always regarded himself as a ranger, and he doesn't have much to do with generals on weekdays. If he is allowed to develop, in a few years, even Liu Wei may be difficult to control him.
In this way, it is particularly important to snub him for a period of time and let him know that in the Luoyang army, he still has to obey.
Liu argued out of the front hall, knowing that Deng Zhan had angered him, and still maintained a posture of clenching his fists and standing facing the empty main seat of the front hall.
Deng Zhan's forehead was already oozing cold sweat the size of soybeans, since he met Liu Wei, he had never been so snubbed by Liu Wei. A trace of uneasiness gradually arose in his heart, and he didn't know that from now on, his position in Liu Bian's heart would still be as stable as before.
Out of the front hall, as soon as Liu Wei came down the stairs, several Yu Linwei followed him.
Just as he was about to lead a few Yulin guards to the back garden, Liu Wei just wanted to turn around, but suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the corner not far ahead, near the main entrance of the official mansion.
The position of the man standing was very partial, and if Liu Wei didn't pay attention to it, he would have missed it.
Seeing that figure, Liu Wei hurriedly turned around and walked over there.
Standing in the corner was Guan Qing, who had come out of the front hall earlier. Leaving the front hall, she wanted to return to the barracks immediately, but she couldn't let go of it in her heart.
Standing here, Guan Qing wanted to lift her feet and leave several times, but thinking of Liu Bian's retention of her and Fang Cai's unforgettable kiss, she felt that her legs were weak, and it was very difficult to even move her steps.
Just when she wanted to go or stay, and didn't know whether she should leave or not, Liu Wei had already walked quickly behind her.
"Qing'er!" Seeing that Guan Qing was still in the official mansion, Liu Wei was inexplicably happy in his heart, and when he arrived behind Guan Qing, he first called Guan Qing gently, and then put a hand on Guan Qing's shoulder.
was looking down and thinking about it, Guan Qing didn't hear Liu Bian's soft call, Liu Bian's hand suddenly put on her shoulder, she was taken aback, subconsciously put her left hand on her right shoulder, held down Liu Bian's hand, and put her right hand back, put it on Liu Bian's waist, bowed her back, and made a big fall over her back.
Several Yu Linwei who followed behind Liu Bian, who were used to seeing Guan Qing and Liu Bian's intimacy on weekdays, would have thought that this scene would suddenly appear, seeing Guan Qing grabbing Liu Bian's arm, and was about to throw him out, several Yu Linwei hurriedly jumped out, wanting to step forward to support Liu Bian before he was fallen.
Although their reaction was fast, it was still a little too far away after all.
Before they could rush to the front, Liu Wei's feet had already fallen to the ground. However, Liu Wei was not smashed into the sky and grinned as those Yu Linwei imagined.
At the moment when Guan Qing bent over, Liu Wei stretched out his left hand that was not caught, and gently pushed it towards Guan Qing's buttocks two inches up, and then exerted more force on the palm of his hand and sent his arm forward.
was pushed by him like this, Guan Qing, who was just about to bend over, immediately lost his strength, pushed his waist forward, and straightened his body, but was strangled by Liu Wei and controlled by his neck.
The neck was strangled by Liu Wei, and he didn't know that it was his Guan Qing, and he was about to hit his back with his elbow, when several Yu Linwei who had rushed up shouted to her in unison: "General Guan, I can't help it!" ”
Hearing those Yu Linwei shouting at her, Guan Qing knew that the person behind her was not intent on attacking, so she hurriedly retracted the elbow that had been smashed out, and turned her head to the side with round eyes, wanting to see who was strangling her neck.
"Fortunately, this king also knows some fighting skills!" As soon as Guan Qing turned her head, Liu Wei hugged her into his arms, hugged her and snorted, and whispered with his lips against her earburns: "If this king doesn't know how to fight, won't you fall to the ground with your ass?" ”
Hearing Liu Wei's voice, Guan Qing was shocked, knowing that he had almost run into a catastrophe, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Qing'er doesn't know that it is His Royal Highness......
"It's okay!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to finish speaking, Liu Wei wrapped his arms around her chest, pressed his hands on her chest lightly through his armor, and said to her in a low voice: "This king thought you were gone, but you are still here if you don't want to." As long as you're there, even if you really fell over, it's so tight! ”
Guan Qing was wearing heavy scale armor, and Liu Wei's hands pressed on her chest, which still made her feel that she was being wantonly violated by the man behind her.
Liu Wei didn't care at all about being attacked by Guan Qing, but instead said something affectionate, which made Guan Qing, who was pressed on his chest, ashamed.
His chin rested on Guan Qing's shoulder, tightly hugging Guan Qing, who was blushing, and Liu Wei whispered to her again: "It's okay to stay here tonight?" ”
"Hmm!" Guan Qing was silent for a while, but after all, he still couldn't refuse Liu Wei, nodded and responded softly.
Liu Wei led the army into Handan, and at this time, in Luoyang City, Deng Zhan's mansion was noisy.
A team of Luoyang soldiers wearing red armor shuttled back and forth in various rooms in the mansion, rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something.
Xu Shu stood in the front yard of Deng Zhan's mansion with his hands behind his back, and behind him stood Tao Hu, who had just been transferred to Luoyang from Hedong.
Tao Hu, who has been promoted to a general, wearing a suit of scale armor and a straight body, standing behind Xu Shu, pressing the hilt of the sword with one hand and crossing his waist with the other, frowning slightly, looking at the soldiers of the Luoyang Army running back and forth all over the courtyard.
"Strategist! Strategist! The soldiers of the Luoyang Army were looking for a garden full of boxes and cabinets, and a person who looked like a steward in Deng Zhan's mansion ran to Xu Shu in a panic, bowed down, and said to Pang Tong in a panic: "Mrs. Lian and her younger brother are missing!" ”
"It's still a step too late!" Knowing that the Lian'er sister and brother were missing, Xu Shu frowned, looked up at the sky, squinted his eyes slightly, and then turned around and said to Tao Hu standing behind him: "General Tao, you immediately take people out of the city, now the sun has ended, and they are still in the house in the afternoon." These two must not have gone too far, you lead people to strictly investigate the nearby villages, once you find that it is not from the village, first arrest them, find out the way to come, and then deal with them! ”
"No!" Tao Hu responded with a fist, and did not greet the soldiers of the Luoyang Army who were rummaging around in the courtyard, turned around and ran out of the courtyard.
"Strategist!" Not long after Tao Hu came out of the courtyard, a Luoyang Army officer ran out of the backyard quickly, holding a small cloth bag in his hand, and when he arrived in front of Xu Shu, he raised the cloth bag high above his head with both hands, bowed down and said to Xu Shu: "I'm waiting to find this!" ”
Glancing at the officer, Xu Shu took the cloth bag held high by the officer, first opened the opening of the cloth bag, glanced inside, and then reached in and took out a note from it.
Unfolding the note, briefly browsing the contents of the note, Xu Shu pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a strange smile, waved his hand at the steward of Deng Zhan's mansion, and said to the steward: "If General Deng returns, you just need to inform him that his concubine Lian'er is a foreign spy, and now she has fled with guilt." As for our search of the courtyard, if you show half a word, beware of the head! ”
"No!" The steward clenched his fists with both hands, bowed down in fear, and when he responded to Pang Tong, his expression was still a little flustered.
Glancing at the steward, Xu Shu said to the soldier who found the cloth bag: "Pass the order, stop the search, and I'll leave here!" ”
The soldier responded, first clenched his fists and bowed back two steps, then turned around and ran towards the Luoyang officers and soldiers who were searching Deng Zhanfu.
After a while, Xu Shu left Deng Zhanfu with this team of more than 100 Luoyang troops.
Out of the mansion, Xu Shu raised his face, looked at the orange sky reflected by the slanting sun, and sighed long.
On the note left by Lian'er, the word "Yuan Shao" was clearly written. Seeing this note, Xu Shu immediately concluded that this was to blame Yuan Shao. Born as a hero, Yuan Shao would not be stupid enough to send spies to Luoyang, and he would leave a payment on the letter.
and Yuan Shao are in trouble, only Jizhou Gongsun Zhan! Although she didn't know what kind of message Lian'er sent in the past, Xu Shu knew that she was not the person sent by Gongsun Zhan. If Gongsun Zhan sent spies to Luoyang, I am afraid that the most urgent thing to do would be to cause chaos so that Liu Wei would have no time to look north.
And Lian'er's actions in Luoyang City have always been quiet, if it weren't for Liu Wei asking him to pay attention to Deng Zhan's mansion, Xu Shu didn't even expect that such a young girl and a boy who was not yet ten years old would be spies who infiltrated Luoyang.
Such a low-key infiltration must not have wanted to cause chaos in Luoyang. It is precisely because of this that Xu Shu feels a little tricky, if she doesn't catch Lian'er and her younger brother, I'm afraid she will never know who they entered Luoyang under their orders.
The sunset was about to sink below the horizon, and the sky was much darker, and the clouds in the sky were like patches of red blood, indicating that a new storm was coming.
Night fell quietly, far away in Handan City, Jizhou, thousands of households extinguished candles, and the entire city fell into a dark silence.
In the backyard of the Handan government's mansion, the top floor of a small wooden two-story building is still lit by dim candlelight.
Standing at the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark scenery outside the window and the team of Yulin Guards patrolling the night with torches, Liu Bian's heart swelled with a trace of emotion about the ever-changing life and the cold state of the world.
He remembered the embarrassment when he fled Luoyang with Tang Ji, which was also such a small building at the beginning, and there were also teams of soldiers patrolling the night outside. However, at that time, the soldiers who were patrolling the night wanted to arrest him and put him back to death, but now Yulinwei, who is patrolling the night outside, is sparing no effort to protect him.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, ......rest early" Liu Wei was looking at the scenery outside that was very similar to the original escape from Luoyang, thinking about the unbearable scenes of the past, Guan Qing walked behind him, and said to him with a red face of endless shame in his tone: "The cover is ready......"
