A few days later, inside the city of Anyi.

On both sides of the street, there were officers and soldiers in red armor, and the officers and soldiers held their swords in their hands, one by one, their heads held high, and their eyes looked at Liu Wei who was marching along the street towards the official mansion accompanied by Xu Shu.

Behind the human wall formed by the officers and soldiers, the people in the city spontaneously poured out of their homes to greet Liu Wei, who had been away from Hedong for many days.

Riding on horseback, looking at those eyes full of eagerness and trust, Liu Wei felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

During the days of the Eastern Crusade, Liu Wei met the Haoqiang, including Gongsun Zhan, who wanted to put him under house arrest, and they were all courteous and commendable to him. But he never found a sense of belonging, a sense of respect and trust.

When he returned to Hedong and Anyi, the eyes of the soldiers and civilians were excited from the bottom of his heart because of his return, which made him feel that he had truly returned home.

"Your Highness, Cao Cao occupied Hanoi a few days ago, but His Majesty has already made arrangements, and Jiguan is now under the control of our army!" While following Liu Wei along the street, Xu Shu said to him: "A few days ago, Yuan Shao also sent people to meet him, wanting to promote His Royal Highness to the throne, **** Chang'an ......"

"Enthronement? Yuan Benchu really dared to think about it! Hearing that Yuan Shao's envoy came to Anyi to support him to re-ascend the throne, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Xu Shu, first smiled and shook his head, and then asked him: "Yuan Benchu's envoy is still in the city now?" ”

"Two days ago, Yuan Shao's envoy wanted to leave, but he accidentally learned that His Highness was about to return, and he was waiting for His Highness in the city at this time." Xu Shu first answered Liu Wei's question, and then whispered to him: "When His Majesty met with Yuan Shao's envoy, he mentioned that Gongsun Zhan held His Highness hostage, indicating that Yuan Shao wanted to join forces with His Highness and take Jizhou, Bohai and other places in one fell swoop. ”

"Jizhou and Bohai are far away from Hedong, but they are adjacent to Jizhou!" Liu Wei looked at Xu Shu and said to him: "Then Yuan Benchu had a good deal!" This king sent troops and exterminated Gongsun Zhan, only his Yuan family is the only one in the north, but this king has no benefit at all, this matter must not be done! ”

"Early tomorrow morning, let Yuan Benchu's envoy come to meet this king!" One sentence broke Yuan Shao's thoughts, and Liu Wei asked Xu Shu as he walked forward: "Is there any news of Zhao Yun and others?" ”

"There's some news!" Xu Shu bowed slightly, and said to Liu Wei: "Since His Highness arrived in Yuyang, His Majesty has sent some people to investigate. A few days ago, I got the news that the two generals Zhao Yun and Dian Wei met Tai Shici in the Bohai area. I don't know how the three of them discussed, General Zhao ordered the accompanying soldiers to go to pick up Tai Shici's mother and rush to Hedong, and now she should be on the way. The servant then went north into Yuyang, and learned that His Royal Highness had left, and the three of them were a good fight, although Gongsun Zhan said that he was a fierce general, but he could not stop the servants, Yuyang was turned upside down, and there were no less than hundreds of Jizhou troops killed by them. General Zhao and the others broke out of Yuyang, and now they are about to return to Hedong. ”

"Nonsense!" After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Wei frowned, and said with an annoyed look: "Yuyang is the territory of Gongsun Zhan, and the city is full of Jizhou troops, if they have three longs and two shorts, how can this king feel at ease?" When these people return, in addition to the reward for good life, the military advisor must also admonish them on behalf of the king! I want them to cherish some of their own homes in the future, and don't do such dangerous things again! ”

"And!" With a straight face, he asked Xu Shu to stay until Zhao Yun and the others returned to Haosheng and admonished, Liu Wei continued: "Tai Shici is a filial son, and the military advisor immediately sent someone to meet his mother. Take the old lady to Anyi, place a big house, and give more servants and servants, don't be lazy. This king will go to visit the old lady at that time! ”

"No!" Xu Shu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly greeted him, and rode to the official mansion in the city with Liu Wei.

Accompanied by Xu Shu, Guan Qing and others, Liu Wei just walked up to the street where the official mansion was located, and saw a group of soldiers wearing red armor standing outside the gate of the official mansion from a distance.

In front of the group of pro-soldiers, there were more than a dozen servant girls who bowed their heads, and in front of the handmaidens stood Tang Ji, Tao Huanniang and Cai Yan.

Seeing Liu Wei leading the team around the corner from a distance, the three women didn't care about any reserve and demeanor, and quickly ran towards him.

Seeing the three women running towards him, Liu Wei turned over and jumped off the horse and walked towards them quickly.

Guan Qing, who was following behind Liu Wei, saw this scene, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

"My sister is interested in His Highness, why don't you make it clear to Your Highness?" Guan Qing was looking at Liu Bian, who was heading towards Tang Ji and the others, and Dong Niang's soft voice came from the side.

Turning his head to look at Dong Niang, Guan Qing did not speak, but the loss on his face became more and more heavy.

Since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes, especially Guan Qing, a woman who can get on a war horse and dance a long sword, and she has a heartfelt admiration for heroes.

Liu Wei's martial arts may not be very strong, but he dares to take responsibility, and he still does not abandon the people around him when he is in danger.

Facing Tang Ji and the others, they walked over, and when they were about to reach the three women, Liu Wei opened his hands and put on a hugging posture.

The three women who were about to come over did not throw themselves into his arms, and when they reached him, they all stopped, looked at him with tears in their eyes, and gave him a salute.

"How are the princesses?" Standing in front of the three women, Liu Wei had a smile on his face, raised his hand towards them, and said to them: "I haven't seen you for many days, you are still as handsome as ever!" ”

was praised by Liu Wei for being handsome, Tang Ji and the others lowered their heads, and a blush appeared on their faces. Tang Ji, who was standing in front of Cai Yan and Tao Huanniang, blushed and said softly to Liu Wei: "Your Highness has worked hard all the way, and I, as the wife of His Highness, should come out to greet you!" ”

"Your Highness" looked at Liu Bian, who was standing with Tang Ji and others, Guan Qing, who was standing not far behind him, clasped his fists and shouted to Liu Bian, and only when Liu Bian looked back at her did she say loudly: "Your Highness has returned to the official mansion, and the little girl will go to the military camp to meet her brother, and implore His Highness to allow the little girl to leave!" ”

"Escort Miss Guan to the barracks!" Guan Qing had a look of loss on his face that was difficult to hide, how could Liu Wei not see it, but he didn't think of more, and thought that Guan Qing was a brother, so he said to a group of cavalry who came to the official mansion with him: "When you arrive at the barracks, you will be stationed in the barracks, and you will return to the border station tomorrow!" ”

A group of cavalrymen who had escorted him all the way since Liu Wei entered Hedong County clasped their fists in unison, answered, and followed Guan Qing to turn around and go in the direction of the military camp.

Seeing Guan Qing leave, Liu Wei turned around, greeted Tang Ji and the others, and entered the Anyi Mansion surrounded by everyone.

As soon as he entered the front yard of the official mansion, Liu Wei said to Xu Shu who was following him: "This king is back to Anyi, and I have to accompany a few princesses to talk to each other today, and any military advisor can preside over any affairs!" ”

"That's right!" first explained to Xu Shu that he would not deal with any affairs that day, and then Liu Wei turned his head to look at Deng Zhan and Dong Niang, who entered the official mansion with him, and said to Xu Shu: "This king left Yuyang, thanks to Mr. Deng and Dong Niang to take care of him, please arrange the military division properly!" Don't slack off! ”

"Your Highness, rest assured!" Bowing slightly, Xu Shu responded with his hands in fists.

"Mr. Deng, Miss Dong Niang!" explained to Xu Shu that he wanted to take care of Deng Zhan and Dong Niang, Liu Wei turned around, bowed to the two, and said to the two: "Today's military advisor will entertain the two on behalf of the king, and the king of tomorrow will personally set up a banquet to entertain Mr. Deng and Miss Dong Niang!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Bi said that there would be a banquet tomorrow, Deng Zhan and Dong Niang knew that he wanted to accompany Tang Ji and the others, so they hurriedly hugged their fists and bowed, Deng Zhan said to Liu Bi: "There is a military advisor to take care of, the two of us are already very frightened, Your Highness is busy!" ”

Nodding to Xu Shu and Deng Zhan and the others, Liu Wei turned around and walked deep into the backyard surrounded by Tang Ji and a group of maidservants.

"How long have you been in Hedong?" Entering the backyard, Liu Wei walked towards the small hall in the backyard and asked Tang Ji, who was following him, "What is the habit of living in Hedong?" ”

"A few days after His Royal Highness set out on the expedition, the concubine came with Huanniang." Walking behind Liu Bian's side, Tang Ji said to Liu Bian with a sweet smile on his face: "This Hedong doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and it's not like being stared at all day long in the palace like in the past, it's much more comfortable." ”

"This king is busy with the war, but he ignores you and waits! You have suffered a lot! After listening to Tang Ji's words, Liu Wei said to the three women huddled around him with a little guilt: "This time back to Anyi, this king will wait with you for a few days, and make every effort to make the friendship between husband and wife!" The matter of the war, and then push it back! ”

"Reviving the Han Dynasty is the first priority of His Highness, and the concubine follows His Highness, and she does not feel bitter!" Tang Ji lowered his head and said in a voice that was almost so low that Liu Wei was about to hear it: "I only hope that His Royal Highness can lead the army to break through Chang'an, kill Dong Zhuo's old thief, and avenge the Queen Mother!" Avenge the death of a loyal courtier! ”

Tang Ji's words were very unconfident. Liu Wei knew that although she hoped that Liu Wei could revive the Han Dynasty, deep down in her heart, she was still like other little women, hoping that Liu Wei could have more leisure to be by her side.

"I heard that His Royal Highness went to Yuyang, I don't know if I saw the Great Wall?" Cai Yan, who had not spoken since he met Liu Bian, saw that Liu Biao was silent, so it was very timely to ask Liu Bian.

"The Great Wall is gone!" Knowing that Cai Yan didn't want the atmosphere to be too depressing, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to her: "Magnificent and atmospheric, I really should go and take a look." ”

"After hundreds of years of wind and frost, and soaked in the blood of countless loyal people, I don't know that the Great Wall is still like when Yingzheng was newly built!" Liu Wei said that he had been to the Great Wall, and Cai Yan had a look of yearning on his face, and muttered: "The concubine also wants to go to the Great Wall to have a look." ”

Seeing the yearning flashing in Cai Yan's eyes, Liu Wei knew that she had the feelings of a talented woman again, and said to her with a slight smile: "In the future, when this king calms the world, he will definitely lead you to the Great Wall and take a look at the vast mountains and rivers inside and outside the Great Wall!" Take a look at the infinite rivers and mountains that countless loyal people have defended with their blood and lives! ”

When Liu Wei said that he would take them to see the Great Wall in the future, Tao Huanniang on the side had a strong expectation in her eyes.

has been living in the mountains, and before being rescued by Liu Wei and the army, Tao Huanniang didn't know that there was a big city like Anyi outside the mountain. Now that she heard that there was still a Great Wall in the north that had existed for hundreds of years, and Liu Wei had promised to take them there in the future, how could she not have ripples in her heart?

"The two princesses will accompany His Royal Highness back to the room, and the slave family will prepare some food and wine!" When he arrived at the door of the residence, a personal soldier had just opened the door, and Liu Wei was about to enter the house with the women, Tao Huanniang stopped, bowed slightly, and said a word to Liu Bian, Tang Ji, and Cai Yan.

"Huanniang!" Tao Huanniang turned around and was about to leave, Liu Wei hurriedly stopped her and said to her: "You just need to tell the room to get some food today, Huanniang don't be too tired!" This king wants to talk to you more. ”

"The food in the room is quite rough, and the slave family makes it with their own hands, which is more reassuring!" Hearing Liu arguing with her, Tao Huanniang stopped, turned around, and responded softly.

Looking at Tao Huanniang's still somewhat frightened appearance, Liu Bian knew that she was still not freed from the identity of an ordinary village girl, nodded slowly, smiled at her, and said to her: "Huanniang can make two dishes less, I can't use so many dishes when my family eats!" ”

"No!" Tao Huanniang responded softly, and watched Liu Wei enter the house accompanied by Tang Ji and Cai Yan, and then led the two maids to turn around and leave, preparing a meal for Liu Wei and the others.

Entering the back hall, Liu Wei stood near the door and looked around the furnishings in the room. I saw that the furniture in the room was well arranged, and even the position of the candlestick was very elegant.

In addition to some cages and cabinets, there was also a slightly larger low table in the room, and on the outside of this low table, three smaller low tables guarded it like stars holding the moon.

Judging from the layout alone, Liu Wei knew that the slightly larger low table was specially set up for him, and the three smaller low tables were the companions of Tang Ji and the others.
