The south and north banks of the Yangtze River seem to be calm, but a storm is also brewing.

Whether it is the King of Huai or the new emperor, it seems that they can't wait for the beginning of spring, and at the beginning of this year, they want to start a decisive battle again and settle the Central Plains.

The new emperor rushed into the palace after Xiaoyu came to Yangzhou, and he couldn't see anyone for a few days, and the soldiers were also spending the Spring Festival, Liu Yu and his wife were happy and happy, but Chai Jin, lonely and lonely like a lonely soul without an owner, wandered around Yangzhou City.

"It's okay, maybe I'll be able to see your next generation when I go back." Liu Yu said jokingly on the way with Chai Jin to visit the fourteenth princess Qi'er.

Chai Jin nodded, and his mind drifted to Chang'an City, thousands of miles away, for an old man who has not grown up yet, the meaning of the next generation is a little vague.

Qi'er didn't come alone, she was accompanied by her good sister Wu Shuo, who was nominally her companion. Wu Shuo's purpose in Yangzhou is to meet Wu You, the relationship between Qi'er and Liu Yu has long been no secret in the court, Qi'er is coming, and Xu Caihua, the deputy marshal of the female army in charge of this escort, can only agree.

In the Yangzhou Annex, Liu Yu not only saw Qi'er and Wu Shuo, but also saw a figure that he hadn't seen for many days, the female army guard Lu Chuer.

Originally, Lu Chuer also wanted to follow Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu to Jiangnan, but Liu Yu didn't allow it, so she could only be in Tongguan first, and then return to Chang'an City to be an idler.

"Uncle, you and the general are too unrighteous, leave your subordinates behind, and you will fight bravely to kill the enemy."

Liu Yu's mind was all on Qi'er. Unexpectedly, Lu Chu'er came out first to find him unlucky. Liu Yu's eyes widened. Lu Chu'er hurriedly avoided Liu Yu's gaze, and when she really wanted her to be fierce, she couldn't be fierce.

"Let you sleep in the open for two months, and then you will want to get married!" Liu Yudao.

Lu Chu'er snorted lightly and said: "Uncle will use this matter to scare his subordinates, and when he turns around, his subordinates will tell the general, saying that Uncle you hooked up with the fourteenth princess!" ”

In fact, Liu Yu didn't know if Xu Xuanzhu knew his relationship with Qi'er at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak when Lu Chu'er said this, and Xu Xuanzhu might be able to understand it if it was someone else. But Qi'er is the fourteenth princess after all, if she really marries into the door, the handling of this identity is very complicated, and you can't let a princess be a concubine.

"If you don't leave, be careful that I'm not welcome!" Liu Yu said viciously.

Lu Chu'er also knew that this joke was a bit too much, and when she saw Liu Yu's face turned blue, she quickly slipped away in fright.

In the annex, Qi'er and Wu Shuo were like two little resentful women, sitting idly on a chair and seeing Liu Yu. Qi'er ran over excitedly to greet her, but Wu Shuo just glared at Liu Yu angrily. Retract your legs and sit cross-legged in a wide chair with your head tilted away.

As long as Liu Yu is there, Qi'er doesn't have the heart to pay attention to her, and it's no wonder that Wu Shuo is unhappy.

Liu Yu and Qi'er held hands as if no one was around, and their behavior was very intimate, so that Chai Jin, who had never been very sophisticated, also felt that he was a bit of an eyesore standing there. Originally, Chai Jin came to see his sister-in-law as a brother-in-law, and Liu Yue accompanied him, but now Chai Jin was left aside, and Qi'er didn't notice his existence at all.

"How are you doing on the road?" Liu Yu asked.

Qi'er smiled and nodded.

"Did you suffer on the way?"

Qi'er still nodded vigorously, looking at Liu Yu, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking in her mind.

Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "Are you suffering or not?" ”

Qi'er was slightly stunned and said, "It's okay, just girl, she always complains that her buttocks hurt, and that her body is like falling apart." I think it's good to ride in a carriage. ”

Originally, Qi'er's face was still a little tired, but when she saw Liu Yu, she didn't care so much, and felt that the fatigue of this journey was worth it.

Liu Yu and Qi'er sat down on the nearby chairs, and Qi'er said a lot of things she had seen and heard along the way, as a princess, she lived in the palace for a long time, and this was the first time she had the opportunity to go far away, and this one was thousands of miles.

Asked if Xi was used to living in Yangzhou City, Qi'er pouted and said: "Yangzhou feels so remote, no one, I originally asked Guard Lu to take me and Yaya out for a walk, but everywhere is very deserted, and I can't see anyone." Boring. ”

Saying that, Qi'er was still holding Liu Yu's hand tightly, and the meaning was also obvious, let him stay and spend more time with her. Qi'er came to Yangzhou City thousands of miles away, but she was only worried about him in her heart.

Liu Yu couldn't help it in the face of Qi'er's obsession, in fact, in another courtyard, the Han sisters were even more clingy, and it was not easy for him to come out under the pretext of military affairs, otherwise he would have to be squeezed dry by the Han sisters. Liu Yu couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately, he had no further relationship with Qi'er, otherwise Qi'er would have learned the taste of men and women who love to eat their souls, and they would have to join the camp of the Han sisters.

But even so, Qi'er's enthusiasm made Liu Yu a little overwhelmed.

"Been out for so long, haven't been homesick?" Liu Yu saw that Chai Jin was called out of the city, and asked Qi'er.

"Yes, I miss my mother very much. When the mother came out, she said to Qi'er that it was best to see Brother Liu, and if she couldn't see her, she would die in the future. Qi'er was sad for a long time at that time. ”

Liu Yu didn't quite understand the meaning of his future mother-in-law, what does it mean to die after not seeing him, is there any special meaning in this, or does it mean that he will abandon from beginning to end?

That night, the new emperor also held a banquet to entertain Xiaoyu and Qi'er who came from afar, and Liu Yu and Chai Jin would also attend. Liu Yu informed Qi'er that he would go back to prepare, after all, it was a royal banquet, and it was a formal occasion, so Liu Yu had to be cautious.

When he walked out, Liu Yue saw Chai Jin coming over, obviously Chai Jin didn't expect Liu Yu to leave so soon.

"Commander Yang Right and the national teacher are here." Chai Jindao.

Liu Yu nodded, and immediately went to see Yang Lie and Wu You with Chai Jin, these two have been in Jiankang City for the past two months, Yang Lie's main task is to arrange an intelligence network, as for whether Wu You is really looking for someone, Liu Yu does not know.

As soon as he saw Liu Yu, Yang Lie stepped forward and said, "General Liu, everything is ready, just wait for the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival." ”

Liu Yu nodded to understand, counting the days, there are only three days left before the Shangyuan Festival. Chai Jin was a little confused, so he asked, "What about the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

Liu Yu didn't want to explain too much to Chai Jin, and said, "Oh, of course the Shangyuan Festival is to enjoy the lanterns. ”

"There is also a lantern festival in Yangzhou?"

Chai Jin frowned inexplicably, these days he has also walked through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City, knowing that Yangzhou is almost an empty city today, and there are very few people, so how to hold the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Yang Lie didn't say much, and left after speaking, and left Yangzhou City that night to go south again. He came in person just to convey the news to Liu Yu, which was also what Liu Yu and Yang Lie had ordered in advance.

Liu Yu said to Chai Jin: "Three days later, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, and you should go to negotiate the details of the compromise agreement with the envoy of King Huai, and send Meng Chuliang and Zhou Ying back to them, so as not to prevent them from reuniting with their families!" ”

Chai Jin nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Liu is still thoughtful, and even for them, he has considered it thoroughly, so I'll talk about it." (To be continued......)
