Chapter 314: Did You Do Anything Bad?
The rising sun brings the first rays of dawn to the earth, and the golden sunlight pierces the fading night, dispelling the quiet night and bringing a new day.
In the barracks, the officers and soldiers had already begun to pack up their tents, and many soldiers were cooking breakfast. The smell of rice wafted into Liu Bian's handsome tent, and Liu Bian, who was lying on the bed, sat up slowly, closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously.
The night before, he had drunk too much. In the hazy consciousness, he seemed to have the experience of going to Guan Qing's camp, but that experience was very ethereal in his memory, it seemed real and illusory, he didn't even remember when he returned to Guan Qing's tent, and he wasn't sure if he had been to Guan Qing's tent.
When he opened his eyes and looked around the tent, he saw that it was his handsome tent that was asleep, Liu Wei took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and walked towards the wooden frame where the armor was hung.
The soldiers guarding outside the tent heard the movement in the tent, and one of them hurriedly opened the tent curtain and walked in, clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Your Highness, the soldiers are making a fire to make rice, dare to ask Your Highness if you want to eat gruel or corn?" ”
"Let's have a bowl of gruel!" Because he had drunk too much wine, Liu Wei didn't have much appetite, so he waved his hand at the soldier and gave a faint order.
When the soldier turned around to leave the tent, Liu Wei seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted to him again: "Wait! ”
Hearing Liu Wei call him, the soldier turned around and maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, waiting for Liu Wei to give the order.
"This king drank too much wine yesterday, has he been anywhere else?" Taking off the armor from the shelf, Liu Wei asked the soldier while wearing it.
When he asked if he had been elsewhere, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the soldier's face, and he raised his eyes and peeked at Liu Wei before lowering his head and saying, "Back to Your Highness, Your Highness went to General Guan Qing's tent last night!" ”
"Huh?" Knowing from the soldier that he had really been to Guan Qing's tent, Liu Wei turned his face and asked the soldier very suspiciously: "This king is there, has he done anything ridiculous?" ”
When this sentence was asked, Liu Wei suddenly regretted it a little. Even if he really did something ridiculous, Guan Qing, as a general, would not be able to let other people know what happened in the camp tent.
As soon as his question was asked, the soldier responded: "Last night, it was the villain who sent His Highness to General Guan Qing's tent, His Highness slept soundly in the general's tent, and the general stood alone outside the tent, crying for some reason. Later, it was Pang Junshi who learned that His Highness was not in the main tent, so he ordered someone to carry His Highness back......"
"Ugh!" From the soldier's words, Liu Wei heard that he didn't have time to do anything ridiculous last night, otherwise Guan Qing would not have had the leisure to stand outside the tent and burst into tears.
Thinking of Guan Qing standing outside the tent and crying, Liu Wei was suddenly startled, and his brain was running rapidly, wanting to recall what he had done and said in Guan Qing's tent, whether there was any place to stab this female general who could fight the enemy like a man on the battlefield.
But when he was in Guan Qing's tent, he was in a state of intoxication, and his consciousness was already completely hazy. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember what he had done at that time. Trying to recall it, it made his brain hurt for a while.
Seeing that Liu Wei had no more orders, the soldiers who entered the tent clenched their fists and retreated.
When the soldiers withdrew from the tent, Liu Wei frowned slightly, put on his clothes and armor, and strode out of the tent.
He had already made a plan in his heart, and since he couldn't remember what he had done or said the night before, he went to ask Guan Qing in person. Just ask her why she was standing outside the tent and weeping, and everything will be clear.
As soon as Liu Wei came out of the tent, the soldier who had served him a bowl of corn porridge walked over to the tent with a bowl of rice.
Seeing that Liu Bian was leaving, the soldier looked up at Liu Bian and said to him, "Your Highness, the porridge has already been served......
"Eat it!" Waving his hand at the soldier, Liu Wei dropped a word, didn't even stop, and walked quickly towards the place where Guan Qing's headquarters was stationed.
Holding the bowl in his hand, the soldier opened his mouth slightly, looked at Liu Wei's back with a stunned face, and after a while, he brought the bowl full of gruel to his mouth and took a sip.
On the way to the headquarters of the Guan Qing Institute, Liu Wei saw that countless soldiers were packing up the camp tents, most of the camp tents had been put away, and the tents had been loaded by the officers and soldiers into the carriages that transported the baggage, but there were still a small number of camp tents that had not been put away, and groups of officers and soldiers were busy working around those camp tents.
Along the way, the officers and soldiers who saw Liu Wei would bow down to him and salute with fists, and Liu Wei did not have time to return the salute to the officers and soldiers, but just held his fists with both hands, arching very casually, and walking briskly forward.
There was still some distance from the camp of the Youth Management Institute, and Liu Wei saw that the camp tents on the station had been cleaned up, and some of the camp tents of the other generals behind him had not been put away, but the officers and men of the Youth Management Department had not only put away the camp tents, but even had breakfast.
After breakfast, the officers and soldiers who were busy extinguishing the pot and stove saw Liu Wei coming alone, hurriedly stood in their original position, bowed with fists, and saluted Liu Bian.
With a simple arch of his hand towards those officers and soldiers, Liu Wei walked up to an officer and asked him, "Have you seen General Guan Qing?" ”
"Before the general gets dark, he asks the soldiers to get up, pack up the camp tents, and bury the pot to make food." The officer first gave Liu Wei a very solemn salute, then turned his head to look around, and said to Liu Wei: "I just saw the general here, but I don't know where I got it." ”
"Your Highness, the general has just gone to the northwest!" As soon as the officer's words fell, a soldier not far away raised his hand and pointed to the northwest and said to Liu Wei: "The villain has just cleaned up the pot and stove, and it happened to see the general walking towards the northwest. ”
Nodding to the soldier, Liu Wei turned around and walked briskly to the northwest.
The night before, Liu Wei had come to Guan Qing's tent, but because Pang Tong had strictly ordered that it should not be spread outside, although the officers and soldiers under Guan Qing's tent were very close to the place where the incident occurred, they did not get the slightest rumor.
Seeing Liu Wei walking towards the northwest in a hurry, a large group of officers and soldiers looked at each other, and they didn't know why the king of Luoyang came to look for their general early in the morning.
After walking about fifty or sixty steps to the northwest, Liu Wei really saw Guan Qing standing in an open space, looking into the distance.
Looking forward from the angle that Guan Qing should be looking at, Liu Wei found that the scenery in front of him was nothing special, and he didn't know what she was looking at for a while.
Seeing Guan Qing, Liu Wei's pace accelerated a little, and he almost trotted towards Guan Qing.
Perhaps he was too focused on what he was thinking, Liu Wei ran quickly, and the footsteps were not too small. But Guan Qing didn't seem to be aware of it, he didn't hear the sound of footsteps behind him, and he still stared blankly at the not very beautiful scenery in the distance.
Walking behind Guan Qing, Liu Wei wanted to call her, but when he got closer, he changed his mind.
Walking only five or six steps away from Guan Qing, Liu Wei saw that she turned around without alertness, and was suspicious, so he slowed down, bypassed a little to the side, took a few steps forward, and stretched out his head to look at Guan Qing's face.
I don't know if I don't know how to do it, this look suddenly startled Liu Wei.
Guan Qing, who was standing with his back to him, was not looking into the distance, but hiding alone in this rarely visited place and weeping silently.
Two lines of clear tears slid down her jade-white face, gathered on her chin, and condensed into a crystal teardrop at the tip of her chin.
Tears rolled down her eye sockets like a stream that never dries up, condensing down her chin with tears.
Tears fell on her chin one by one on her armor, and the armor chest that had added an endless sassy and heroic appearance to her was actually stained with a large area of water.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Guan Qing looking into the distance and crying, Liu Bian's heart suddenly cooled, worried that he had done something to her because he was drunk the night before, so he hurriedly stepped forward, held Guan Qing's arm with both hands, and asked her with a concerned face: "Early in the morning, why are you standing here alone and crying." ”
Just thinking about what Liu Wei said to her the night before, Guan Qing's heart was surging like a tide, her thoughts were floating in the sky, her arms were suddenly grabbed, she was taken aback, and quickly shook off the hands that grabbed her arms and took two steps back, subconsciously reaching out and grabbing the long sword at her waist.
As soon as her hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, Guan Qing saw clearly that it was none other than Liu Wei who grabbed her arm just now, it was Liu Wei who made her thoughts surge, her pretty face turned red in an instant, and she hurriedly raised her arm to wipe the tears on her face.
"How did Your Highness come here alone early in the morning?" Wiping away his tears, Guan Qing turned his head to look at the sides, and didn't see any soldiers behind Liu Wei, so he said to him with some disgust: "If there are thieves who take the opportunity to sneak attack His Highness, and there are no soldiers to protect him, wouldn't His Highness be ......?"
"Don't talk about me!" Before Guan Qing's words fell, Liu Wei stepped closer to her, furrowed his brows, and asked her: "I just heard the soldier say that this king went to the general's tent last night, I don't know what ridiculous things he did?" ”
The reason why Guan Qing stood here early in the morning was because the words that Liu Wei had said to her the night before made her feel uneasy and wanted to come here to calm down.
What she didn't expect was that she had only been here for a long time, and before she had time to calm down, Liu Wei came over on her heels.
"Your Highness drank too much yesterday!" Faced with a blushing face when asked by Liu Wei's words, Guan Qing lowered his head and said to him softly: "The last general is sentimental, but he is sad that His Highness will do something drunk during the march. Such an unbearable act will definitely insult His Highness's prestige. Thinking of the painful place, the last general really couldn't restrain himself, and he hid here because he secretly thought that His Highness was not worth it......"
Guan Qing's words were obviously avoiding the important and trivial. Standing in front of her, Liu Wei looked at her with a little suspicion in his eyes, and asked again: "This king really didn't do anything ridiculous last night?" ”
"Nope!" Guan Qing hugged his fists and bowed, and responded in a very decisive tone, and then said to Liu Wei: "The sky is already bright, and the last general must return to the barracks to gather the soldiers, and I implore His Highness to return to the Chinese army as soon as possible, so as not to delay the army's journey." The end will be retired! ”
After speaking, Guan Qing didn't give Liu Wei a chance to speak, first clenched his fists and bowed back two steps, then turned around and strode towards the barracks.
Standing in place, looking at Guan Qing's back, Liu Wei was in a daze, and two fast horses rushed from the place where the Chinese army was.
The two fast horses stopped at a place only ten steps away from Liu Bian, the two cavalrymen turned over and jumped off their horses, ran quickly to Liu Bian, and knelt on the ground with their fists in their hands, one of them said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, the military advisor ordered the two of us to come to find Your Highness, when will the army start?" ”
