In the heavy curtain, there was a slight light of candles, and there was a sound of "whooshing" water in the tent, and a thin stream of water flowed out from the bottom of the tent, and it was in the hard yellow earth under Liu Wei's feet.

Liu Wei pressed the hilt of his sword and stood outside the tent with his body straight, but his eyes kept observing the sentry posts in all positions in the barracks.

In the dark about ten steps away from him, Gongsun Xu and several Jizhou generals stood far away, looking at Liu Wei who was guarding outside the tent.

"General, isn't it up to the King of Hongnong to mess around in the barracks?" Looking at Liu Wei who was guarding outside the tent, a Jizhou general lowered his voice and whispered to Gongsun Xu, who was standing at the front: "It's okay to eat and drink, and when you come to the barracks, you have to scrub your body with hot water, don't you treat this place as your home?" ”

His eyes stayed on Liu Wei's body, and Gongsun continued to look at the Jizhou general who was questioning, and said to him: "Father wants me to take down King Hongnong, in order to use his identity to hold the princes of all parties hostage. We will help him regain the throne in the future, if there is too much control, won't he become a chaotic minister and thief? ”

"That's what the general said!" The Jizhou general, who was quite dissatisfied with Liu Wei's behavior, bowed down with his fists in response, and said to Gongsun Xu: "It's the last general who is abrupt!" ”

He stood straight with his back to the tent with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and the sound of "whooshing" water was constantly heard from inside the tent. I think it should be Guan Qing washing his body with water.

It has been a long time since Guan Qing entered the tent, standing outside the tent, Liu Wei felt that both legs were about to weaken, but Guan Qing still didn't come out.

If it weren't for the constant sound of water coming from the tent, Liu Wei even wanted to open the curtain and break in to see if something had happened to Guan Qing.

"It's so troublesome for a woman to take a bath!" Turning his head to look at the glowing curtain behind him, Liu Wei muttered secretly in his heart.

At that moment, he heard a "bang" from the tent, which was noticeably louder than the previous movement, as if someone had risen from the basin.

After the sound of water was heard, there was no movement in the tent.

"Girl, it's okay, right?" Without hearing any more noise in the tent, Liu Wei turned to face the tent and asked a question from inside the tent.

"It's okay!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Guan Qing's answer came from the tent: "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Put on your clothes and call this king." Standing outside the tent, Liu Wei said to Guan Qing inside: "You have an injury on your foot and it is inconvenient to walk, this king will ask General Gongsun to find someone to carry you back to the tent." ”

"No!" Guan Qing, who had already scrubbed her body and was changing into dry clothes, answered softly in the tent, and only when she put on all the clothes did she say to Liu Wei outside the tent: "Your Highness, the little girl can wear it!" ”

"General Gongsun, General Gongsun!" Knowing that Guan Qing was dressed up, Liu Wei pulled his voice and shouted to the place where Gongsun Xu and the others were standing.

When he shouted, Liu Wei's eyes never left the dark shadow where Gongsun Xu and the others were standing, obviously knowing that they were guarding there early in the morning.

"This King Hongnong is very shrewd!" Looking at Liu Wei who was standing outside the tent, Gongsun Xu said to several Jizhou generals behind him: "He knew early in the morning that we were standing here, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't call out until this time. In the future, I am afraid that it will take some twists and turns to deal with him. ”

Liu Wei stood outside Guan Qing's bathing tent and shouted several times in a row. Gongsun Xu knew that if he didn't go out, it would not be suitable, so he waved his hand to several Jizhou generals behind him and said to them: "You wait and disperse, and this general can go to deal with him!" ”

"No!" Several Jizhou generals responded with their fists in their fists, and each dispersed and returned to the camp.

Gongsun Xu left the dark corner and walked towards Liu Wei with his feet raised.

"The last general is checking the sentry, what does Your Highness command?" Before Liu Wei approached, Gongsun continued to clench his fists and bowed, and asked Liu Wei with a very humble attitude.

"Miss Guan is already dressed, but she has a wound on her foot, and it is not very convenient to walk." Liu Bian found out early in the morning that Gongsun Xu and others were standing in a dark corner observing him, and when he heard that Gongsun Xu said that he was checking the sentry, Liu Wei didn't break it, but just straightened up, pressed the hilt of the sword and said to Gongsun Xu: "General Annoying Lao arranged two soldiers to carry a stretcher over and carry the girl into the camp tent!" ”

"Someone!" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, Gongsun Xu shouted to the side, and only when a Jizhou soldier quickly ran to the front did he say to the soldier: "Go and carry the deputy stretcher and carry the girl Guan to His Highness's tent!" ”

When he said, "Carry the girl Guan to His Royal Highness's tent", Gongsun Xu deliberately aggravated his tone, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei, who was standing with his back to the tent, didn't seem to notice the strangeness in his tone, and still straightened his waist and watched the soldier run away in response.

After a while, two Jizhou soldiers ran outside the tent where Guan Qing was bathing with a simple stretcher, and stood aside, waiting for further instructions from Gongsun Xu.

The construction of the stretcher carried by the Jizhou soldiers is very simple, just two strong wooden sticks, weaving many thick hemp ropes in the form of a net, not like the stretcher used in later generations, and the middle is a whole piece of strong thick cloth.

"Girl, can you put on your clothes?" The stretcher was carried outside the tent, and Liu Wei asked Guan Qing inside, and it was not until Guan Qing in the tent answered that he opened the curtain and walked into the tent first.

There were two white candles lit in the tent, and the dim candlelight did not pierce the heavy steam, and when he entered the tent, Liu Wei could only vaguely see the figure of Guan Qing sitting on the dry ground in the corner, but as for her facial features, she couldn't see it clearly.

I don't know if it's because the steam itself has a fresh taste, or because it's Guan Qing, who is a daughter, who just took a bath. Entering the tent filled with steam, Liu Wei only felt that the entire tent was filled with an indescribable fragrance.

"Help the girl on the stretcher." Walking in front of Guan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, Liu Wei gave an order to the two Jizhou soldiers carrying the stretcher.

The two Jizhou soldiers answered, put the stretcher on the ground, stepped forward to pick up Guan Qing, who was speechless, and helped her to sit on the stretcher, and then lifted the stretcher and walked towards the outside of the tent.

followed the stretcher out of the tent, watching Guan Qing's departing back, until watching her being sent into the camp tent, Liu Biancai said to Gongsun who was waiting outside the tent: "I'm tired of General Gongsun letting people change the water, and this king also feels very tired, and wants to wash and go to bed early." ”

Gongsun continued to answer, and gave another order to the soldiers on the side, and immediately several soldiers entered the tent and carried out the wooden basin where Guan Qing was bathing.

Meimei took a bath, washed away all the blood and sweat stains on her body, and when Liu Wei changed into a dry silk coat and walked out of the tent, he had a feeling that the entire world suddenly became fresh.

The night was already deep, and the night sky was as pure as a wash, full of twinkling stars.

Looking up at the starry sky with his head, Liu Wei took a deep breath, waved his hand to Gongsun Xu and a group of Jizhou soldiers who had been waiting outside the tent, and said to them: "Let's all go back and rest, this king is tired and wants to rest early!" ”

"No!" Liu argued that he wanted to rest earlier, Gongsun Xu bowed slightly, hugged his fists in response, and glanced at the two Jizhou soldiers on the side.

Two Jizhou soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, huddled around Liu Wei, and escorted him to the tent that Guan Qing had entered earlier.

Liu Wei turned his head to look at the Jizhou soldiers who were sandwiched in the middle, called protection, but in fact to prevent him from escaping, and walked towards the tent with a calm face.

The tent was lit by candlelight, and when the tent was opened, Liu Wei saw Guan Qing sitting upright on her bed, looking up at the curtain.

"Your Highness......" Seeing Liu Wei walk into the tent, Guan Qing opened his mouth, and said to Liu Wei with a little shame on his face: "It was the little girl who caused His Highness......

"It's a big deal!" Xiang Guan Qing shook his head and made a look, Liu Wei interrupted what she wanted to say next, and said to her: "After running all day, there is hot water to bathe here, and there is a lot of meat to eat, wouldn't it be faster than in this king's military camp?" The two of us are now in the place of leisure, why bother? ”

When he said this, Liu Wei deliberately raised his voice, deliberately so that the people guarding outside the tent could hear what he said clearly.

Looking up at Liu Wei, who had just walked into the tent, Guan Qing's face showed confusion. In her opinion, being captured by the Jizhou army should be a catastrophe, but Liu Wei, who was standing in front of her, had an indifferent face, as if he was not under house arrest, but came here to enjoy happiness.

"After running all day, Miss Guan must be sleepy!" Guan Qing opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something more, but Liu Wei didn't give her a chance to speak, waved her hand, raised her feet and walked to the bunk on the other side of the tent, blew out the candle flame in the tent, and fell on the bunk cover, and let out a slight snoring sound after a while.

Listening to Liu Wei's subtle snoring, Guan Qing sighed softly, and also lay down, looking intently at the top of the dark tent.

Previously, she knew about Liu Wei only boldly and carefully, and she was very kind to the Yellow Turban Army. Now that the two of them were captured by the Jizhou army, Liu Wei not only did not panic at all, but begged for hot water, wine and rice, and behaved very calmly, which made Guan Qing feel even more confused about what kind of person he was.

Liu Wei and Guan Qing had already fallen asleep, and about half an hour later, more than ten fast horses came from outside the barracks. As soon as more than a dozen people on fast horses entered the barracks, the first man jumped off his horse without waiting for the soldiers to come to help, and asked Gongsun Xu, who hurriedly ran out to greet him, "Where is King Hongnong?" ”

The one who led people to the barracks was none other than Gongsun Zhan, a former general who Liu Wei had offended twice in a row. received a report from Gongsun that Liu Wei had been captured, but Gongsun Zhan did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately took Guan Jing and others to come at night.

"Back to his father, the child arranged for King Hongnong and the accompanying women to eat meat, and prepared hot water for them to bathe, and the two of them were already sleeping peacefully at this time!" Hearing that Gongsun Chan arrived at night, Gongsun Xu, who hurriedly went out to greet him, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and said to Gongsun Zhan: "It's just that King Hongnong was captured, and his demeanor is very calm, and he didn't miss the military camp at all, which really makes the child puzzling!" ”
