Wei Yan's transformation soon paid off, and although the generals in the army were still not friends with him, at least they were less exclusive in official affairs. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, who are most disgusted with them, can also restrain themselves, at least not with affection in daily military affairs. This also made Wang Xu very pleased, after all, it was not in vain, Wei Yan has the potential to stand alone, if he can stand the test, he will definitely be generous in the future.

And with the stability of Jingzhou, Wang Xu, who has nothing to worry about, has also officially set the date of marrying Zhao Yu. However, this matter did not cause much turmoil, and the high-level officials of Jingzhou already knew about this and laughed it off. However, the officials were very happy, although Wang Xu did not like extravagance, and several concubines were small-scale banquets, and they were not qualified to participate, but after all, it was also an opportunity to give gifts. On weekdays, Wang Xu never accepts any gifts.

Although it is early winter at this moment, the backyard of General Zuo's Mansion in Xiangyang is in full swing, and everyone is preparing for the wedding banquet, with a joyful smile on their faces.

"Xiaoyu, hang that red lantern a little higher." Wang Xu stood behind Xiao Yu and said with a smile.

Xiao Yu, who stepped on the high stool to hang the lantern, couldn't help but turn her head when she heard this, and smiled sweetly: "Master, are you short?" ”

"Well, a little shorter. It doesn't look very comfortable, it's a bit depressing! ”

"Okay." Xiao Yu answered, didn't say much, stood on tiptoe and closed the thread of the lantern a little more.

It's just that she wasn't tall, and if she continued to rise a little higher, her hands couldn't reach it, and she just stood on tiptoe, and she didn't pay attention, and her feet couldn't step steadily, and she suddenly let out an exclamation of "ah", and slid down from the high stool with a lantern.

This qiē happened between the lightning and flint, Wang Xu was startled in an instant, fortunately he reacted quickly enough, he didn't care too much, he jumped up suddenly, hugged his hands across his waist, and caught Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu. Are you okay? Wang Xu said urgently with some self-reproach.

"Oh! Not...... All right. Xiao Yu was visibly a little shocked.

But soon found out that he was currently being held in Wang Xu's arms. Pretty blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Wang Xu was slightly stunned, and he also came back to his senses, but he didn't care. Anyway, when I take a bath on weekdays, Xiaoyu and a few of them serve, and I have already been looked at, so why do I care about this. Gently place Xiaoyu on the ground. smiled naturally: "It's okay, you go and do something else, I'll hang it." ”

"You don't have to do it with your master." Xiao Yu suddenly shook her head again and again, and said a little shyly: "I was just careless just now, but this time I will pay attention to some of them." ”

"Huh! Why bother? Since you can't reach it, I can. It's okay to be idle, and you don't have to go on an adventure. As he spoke, he didn't care about Xiaoyu, and grabbed another lantern next to him and climbed onto the high stool. You see, how easy it is for me to hang. ”

Xiao Yu smiled sweetly, didn't say much, and stood quietly beside Wang Xu looking at him.

This kind of thing can be solved in three or two clicks, after the registered lantern. Wang Xu stood on the high stool and looked left and right. I felt satisfied and couldn't help but clap my hands. I was about to jump. In the distance, Ling Wanqing's extremely seductive voice was heard.

"Yo! Our lord is also personally arranging today, it seems that Yu'er, this girl has really captured the heart of the lord. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Ling Wanqing's words, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. "You, it's just that mouth that doesn't forgive, aren't I idle? Besides, Xiaoyu can't reach it, so I'll do it myself. ”

"Oh...... It turned out that he felt sorry for Xiaoyu. Ling Wanqing said unrelentingly.

These words immediately made Xiao Yu's face red, but she didn't dare to refute Ling Wanqing's words, and they still had some understanding of the horror of the spy shadow.

Wang Xu smiled disappreciatively. "What's wrong with being distressed? Shouldn't my maid be distressed? ”

"Nope!" Ling Wanqing glanced at Wang Xu coquettishly, and said with a wistful face: "People are just envious, the lord loves them so much, I don't know what a happy thing it is." What like us, hey! No matter how hard and tired you are, no one asks. ”

"What's that?" Wang Xu smiled secretly in his heart, and he was not to be outdone. "I love you!"

"Forget it! Where does the lord care about us vulgar fans, he just comforts and comforts me. Ling Wan said quietly.

"Who said that?"

Glancing at Ling Wanqing, the corners of Wang Xu's mouth revealed his signature arc, and before she could react, she was already close to her body and hugged her into her arms. Evil smiled and said, "Can this be proven?" ”

Ling Wanqing, who had been in battle for a long time, was stunned in an instant, a flush rose on her cheeks, that kind of shyness was completely different from what she did on weekdays, and it was more sincere, but at this moment, except for herself, I am afraid that no one noticed it, because it was already covered by Wang Xu's thick chest.

Since Ling Wanqing followed Wang Xu, although the two have always said some ambiguous words, they have never put them into action, this is the first time Wang Xu has hugged her. That feeling was absolutely unprecedented, not to mention that there were so many hidden in her heart!

At this moment, she only felt that this embrace was so warm, as if all the qiē in her heart had been vented, and her heartstrings were violently vibrating.

But just when she was about to get lost in this embrace, her head unconsciously snuggled up to her chest, and her hands unconsciously slowly raised, wanting to hug Wang Xu instead. Wang Xu, who was puzzled, suddenly let her go and said with a smile: "Hehe! Okay, I'm not kidding you, let's get down to business, you should be here at this time, it should be an important thing! ”

This instantaneous change made Ling Wanqing quickly recover her thoughts, her head calmed down, and her heart, which was beating like a girl, gradually dimmed, and her eyes became clear. It's just that what happened just now still has a very big impact after all, although she has a strong ability to control, but she can't do it as calmly as before.

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Ling Wanqing's face instantly became stern, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh: "Your expression changes so fast that people can't keep up with the rhythm. ”

Ling Wanqing felt a pang in her heart, and almost left tears, but unfortunately she still held back, took a deep breath and said, "Maybe!" ”

"Hey! Forget it, let's talk about something! ”

"Hmm!"

Ling Wanqing answered, didn't say anything more, closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, and then slowly opened her mouth to explain. "My lord, the latest information from all parties is very bad!"

"Hehe, the worse the better, just say it!"

"First of all, Gongsun Zhan, since the defeat to Yuan Shao, he retreated to Youzhou and there was a lot of friction between him and Liu Yu, not only in the attitude of the foreign ethnic groups, Liu Yu was even more strongly opposed to Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao fighting, and even cut off contact. In addition, in the matter of Yuan Shu's detention of Liu Yu's son, Gongsun Zhan had written a letter to instigate him, and this matter is now known to Liu Yu. Therefore, the contradictions between the two sides were stimulated, and the war began two months ago. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Wanqing seemed to be a little puzzled, and said with a little doubt: "Originally, Liu Yu had the advantage, but I don't know why, after he broke through Gongsun Zhan, he didn't block the city, nor did he order the soldiers in the city to be strangled. As a result, Gongsun Zan rushed out of the opportunity, mobilized the Quartet army to come, and joined forces with the soldiers in the city to defeat Liu Yu. The two armies then fought a few more battles, but Liu Yu was no match for him. It is said that he has been killed. At that time, the imperial court intended to appoint Liu Yu's governors Qing, You, He, and Ji. Gongsun Zhan did not stop doing anything, detained the imperial court, and announced that he would lead the governors of the four states. ”

"Hey! Liu Yu is a good official, it's a pity! ”

"Lord, why did Liu Yu let Gongsun Chan go?"

"Because of the people!" Wang Xu sighed helplessly. "Liu Yu is a rare loyal minister in the world, he has a big man in his heart, and he also tries his best to avoid conflicts with the princes, but unfortunately his ideas are too naïve. In times of peace, he could get a qiē, but now, it's too late. No one will be moved by his benevolence, and the princes are like wolves and tigers, and they are all eager to annex each other, but what a pity! ”

Hearing this, Ling Wanqing was also a little silent.

After a long time, Wang Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, don't talk about this." That Gongsun Zan wiped out Liu Yu, and Youzhou was under his control, plus the soldiers and horses it scattered, the power should be very strong. What is Yuan Shao's reaction! ”

"The payment has been publicly announced, but there has been no specific action yet, so it may not be time yet." Ling Wan Qingdao.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, he was not interested in this, anyway, the key to the situation in Hebei was Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not move, and everything else did not matter. "Then let's talk about the rest!"

"Okay!" Ling Wanqing paused and continued: "The shape of the Central Plains has changed quite a lot, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu fought seven consecutive battles in Yingchuan and Chenliu counties, and Yuan Shu was defeated in all seven battles and was forced to retreat to Runan. Judging from the current deployment of troops on both sides, Cao Cao is afraid that he will soon launch a second round of attacks and seize Runan. (To be continued.) )
