The night is like water, and the stars in the sky are like shining diamonds in the night sky, bright and dazzling.

The faint starlight did not bring much light to the earth, and it was pitch black outside, and even the few huts near were hazy and unreal.

Tang Ji crouched in Liu Wei's arms, already asleep, and as she breathed, her little nose fluttered gently, adding a bit of cuteness.

Liu Wei, who was hugging Tang Ji, did not fall asleep, since Gong Du led people away, he thought that tonight would not be very peaceful, at least this group of Yellow Turban troops who lacked fierce generals would not let Zhou Cang leave so easily.

There was a thunderous snoring sound from Zhou Cang in the hall, and listening to the snoring, Liu Wei not only did not feel irritable, but felt very relieved.

did not sleep in the ear room on the right side, but moved to the hall, which shows that Zhou Cang is always concerned about the safety of him and Tang Ji. With such a person to follow, the dangers on the road in the future will no longer be faced by him alone.

Holding Tang Ji in his arms and his ears on the cover, Liu Wei heard a rapid sound of "dong dong". The sound reached his ears, and a faint smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes slightly.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the snoring in the hall suddenly stopped, and then Liu Wei heard the sound of gently drawing his sword, obviously Zhou Cang also heard the sound and was ready to fight.

Liu Wei didn't get up, he had already guessed who was coming outside. In his opinion, it is more appropriate for Zhou Cang to deal with this matter by himself.

More than a dozen horses went straight to the house where Liu Wei and the others were sleeping, and when they reached the door, the knights on horseback jumped down one after another.

Gong Du, who had been here in the evening, stood slightly in the front position, and in front of him stood a very tall man.

This man was more than half a head taller than Gong Du, wearing a set of armor with large armor pieces, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he pressed the sword with one hand and crossed the other hand on his waist, raised his head slightly, looked at the door, and shouted loudly: "Dare to ask General Zhou and Mr. are there?" ”

The man even called Liu Bian, and Liu Bian, who didn't plan to get up, had to sit up and rub his face vigorously to make his brain more sober, and then he stood up and groped his way to the hall in the dark room.

Zhou Cang, who was guarding the door, put his long sword in the scabbard, turned his face and looked at the left ear room where footsteps came from.

It was dark in the room, and Zhou Cang couldn't see Liu Wei, who had just come out of the ear room, but he could hear footsteps getting closer and closer to the gate.

"Open the door." Walking to the door of the hall, Liu Wei suppressed his voice to the extent that only he and Zhou Cang could hear it, and gave Zhou Cang an order.

"No!" Zhou Cang answered, stretched out his hand to pull the door page, and pulled it to the sides.

The tall man standing outside the door heard the sound of the door, hurriedly faced the door, clasped his hands into fists and said: "A certain is Liu Pi, who has always admired General Zhou and Mr. Zhou. ”

Liu Wei, who had not yet walked out of the door, heard Liu Bi's words, and immediately gave him the title of "dentures".

Zhou Cang has been famous for a long time, and he admires him for the past, but he hasn't even figured out who Liu Wei is, so he has admired him for a long time.

Liu Wei walked out of the room first, hugged his fists and gave Liu Pi a salute and said: "I have heard the prestige of Qu Shuai for a long time, and I have seen it today, which is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

Zhou Cang, who came out after Liu Bi, just arched towards Liu Bi with his fists in his hands, and did not speak.

From Zhou Cang's expression, Liu Bi could see that he was very respectful to Liu Bian, so he didn't dare to snub Liu Bian, and hurriedly said: "Mr. and General Zhou passed through here, if it wasn't for General Gong mentioning it, I wouldn't know." I wanted to come back tomorrow morning, but I was afraid that the two of them would leave, so I decided to visit at night. ”

Liu Bi's speech was very reasonable, and it was not the same thing as the rough and domineering generals of the Yellow Turban Army in Liu Bian's imagination, which made Liu Bi feel a little surprised.

With a smile, Liu Wei said to Liu Bi: "I was passing through here, I should have visited Qu Shuai, but I had no choice but to delay it, and I planned to leave early tomorrow morning......

"What are you talking about, sir?" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Liu Bi interrupted him and said to him: "Since the two of you have come here, and you are the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai here, how can you treat your guests slowly." If the gentleman has something urgent to do, a certain brother will be sent to help do it, why should the gentleman go on it himself! ”

Knowing what Liu Bi was planning, Liu Bi naturally would not agree to stay, but before he could open his mouth to refuse, Liu Bi hugged his fists and said to him and Zhou Cang: "As Qu Shuai, many affairs have to be dealt with, and there are still some trivial matters in the camp at the moment, so I will retire, Gong Du will stay here tonight to protect the two, and I will wait in the barracks early tomorrow morning." ”

"Qu Shuai!" After Liu Bi finished speaking, he turned around and took the reins of the mount from the soldier behind him, turned over and jumped on the horse, and Liu Bi hurriedly shouted at him.

But Liu Bi pretended not to hear, got on the horse's back, shook the reins, clamped his legs to the horse's belly, and rode away.

More than a dozen Yellow Turban cavalrymen also jumped on horseback, and followed Liu Pi into the vast night.

Only Gong Du and the four Yellow Turban soldiers were left at the door, and seeing Liu Bi and the others go away, Gong Du clasped his fists with both hands and said to Liu Wei and Zhou Cang: "More deeply, please come in and rest, and there will be a vigil for the two of you at the end of tonight." ”

"The weather has not yet warmed up, the general has been outside the house for a night, and he and Yuanfu must be uneasy, the general will return, tomorrow morning, I will wait here for the general!" Liu Wei did not enter the house, but hugged his fists and asked Gong Du to go back to rest.

Before he came, Gong Du had already received Liu Bi's instructions, and no matter what Liu Wei said, he insisted that Liu Wei and Zhou Cang enter the house to rest, while he and the four Yellow Turban soldiers stayed outside the door to stand guard for them.

The two sides persuaded each other for a while, Liu Wei saw that Gong Du couldn't resist, so he had to go into the house with Zhou Cang, Gong Du held the hilt of the sword with one hand, crossed his waist with the other hand, stood with his back to the door, and the four Yellow Turban soldiers stood next to him on both sides.

After entering the room and closing the door again, Zhou Cang lowered his voice and asked Liu Bi, "Does Mr. think you should go to see that Liu Bi tomorrow?" ”

"Huh!" Liu Wei smiled softly, patted Zhou Cang's arm, and whispered: "There must be someone behind this matter, I look at Liu Pi, although he is very heroic, but he is not like such a person who is good at receiving people and things." And the timing of his departure was just right, and I wanted to refuse but didn't have a chance. As for Gong Du guarding the door, it is a wonderful move. ”

"Yes, he's here to watch, it's called a vigil, it's actually surveillance, and it's a legitimate surveillance." Zhou Cang pursed his lips and said with some depression: "If you want to leave, you must have to fight with a few people outside the door." ”

"Once the fight starts, if this matter spreads, you and I will not be able to hold our heads up and be human beings in front of the world." Liu Wei shook his head and whispered to Zhou Cang: "They treat the two of us with courtesy, if the two of us forcibly rush out, won't they be named unrighteous in the future?" Yuan Fu and sleep, don't pay attention to them, go to Liu Pi's military camp tomorrow, and then try to make a good plan. ”

"I'm not worried about delaying here for a long time, it's just Mr.'s important business......" Zhou Cang was obviously still a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that he was now under house arrest, but he couldn't rush out of the city with his strength, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"It's easy to get old with a sigh!" Liu Wei gently patted Zhou Cang's arm again and said to him, "Go to bed first, and wait until tomorrow morning." No matter how well they calculate, it is impossible for them to be without omissions. Besides, they just want to keep you here, and they will definitely not harm us for the time being. ”

Zhou Cang nodded, didn't speak again, gave Liu Wei a salute in the dark, and walked towards the bunk.

When Liu Wei got up, Tang Ji had already woken up, but she knew very well that there were some things that she should not be involved in. When she woke up, she didn't get up, but just lay there silently listening to the sounds coming into the house from outside.

When Liu Wei came into the house, went to the edge of the bed, and drilled into the bed, she subconsciously moved her body to the side, wanting to make more room for Liu Wei.

"Awake?" As soon as Tang Ji moved his body, Liu Wei leaned half-back, reached out and gently pressed her shoulder, and said softly: "Hurry up and sleep, it's not early." ”

"Hmm!" Tang Ji replied and closed her eyes obediently.

She didn't ask Liu Wei if she would go to see Liu Bi, born as Liu Bian's wife, all she could do was to stay by Liu Bian's side, no matter what choice he made, she had to support and follow without regrets.

Tang Ji closed his eyes, Liu Wei also lay down on his back, and a wave of fatigue immediately hit him, and he soon fell asleep.

This night, Liu Wei slept very peacefully, Gong Du and others were guarding the door, he didn't have to worry about thieves suddenly breaking in in the middle of the night, and his mood was much more relaxed.

When Liu Wei woke up, it was already dark, and Tang Ji beside him had already gotten up, made a basin of water, and waited for him to wash.

"Where's Yuanfu?" Glancing at the window that let in the sunlight, Liu Wei sat up, stretched his waist, and asked Tang Ji who was sitting on the side casually.

"Talking to someone outside the house." Seeing that Liu Wei woke up, Tang Ji brought the wooden basin containing water to the edge of the bed, and said to him: "The concubine has made water, please wash your husband." ”

Liu Wei nodded, got up and knelt on the edge of the basin, reached out to pick up the water, and wiped it on his face.

As soon as he washed his face, Tang Ji on the side handed over a dry cloth. Looking at the dry cloth handed to him, Liu Wei raised his head and smiled at Tang Ji and said, "You don't have to serve me like this in the future, I can do such a small thing as washing my face." ”

Tang Ji pursed her lips, nodded, then raised her eyes to look at Liu Wei, and said softly: "Concubine Fang went to fetch water, and saw Gong Du arguing with Yuanfu, Gong Du wanted to wake up her husband, but Yuanfu didn't allow it. ”
