More than a dozen buckets of cold water were splashed on the face of the dragoon who was lying on the ground.

More than a dozen dragoons in a coma were stirred by the cold water and shivered one by one. As soon as the leading dragoon guard opened his eyes, he sensed that something was wrong, and a carp jumped up, and subconsciously touched his waist, only to find that the long sword was not on his body.

Without touching the long sword, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly put on a fighting posture, dripping his body and staring at the dozen or so stout men standing in the room with buckets.

The rest of the dragoon guards also jumped up at this time, jumped behind the dragoon officers, clenched their fists one by one, and stared at the men in the room, seeing that a fight was inevitable.

Just as a group of drenched dragoons were about to leap up and charge at the men who poured cold water on them, the door was pulled open from the outside.

Two stout men opened the door, then stood on either side of the door, making way for the way.

Liu Bian, who was dressed in a linen deep robe, then walked into the house with his feet raised, followed by Liu Bian, in addition to Guan Qing and Yuan Xi, as well as Gongsun Lan, who was dressed in white and Shengxue.

"Stand down!" With his hands behind his back, he entered the house, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and gave a low snort to the dozen or so dragoons who had just been woken up with cold water.

Seeing Liu Wei walk in, the dragoon guards were stunned for a moment, and then they bent their legs and knelt on the ground together, and the leading officer said to Liu Wei in a panic: "We are not well protected, and I beg Your Highness to surrender to the crime!" ”

"General Gongsun is very intelligent, and he has no intention of calculating with his heart, you have never seen such a thing, and I can't complain about you waiting for it!" Raising his hand to the dragoons who were kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei first comforted them, and then said to Gongsun Lan who was following behind: "General Gongsun has made this king's subordinates covered in water, why don't you give them a set of dry shirts?" ”

"Your Majesty has already prepared!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Gongsun Lan responded and said to a man behind him: "Go and get the dry clothes and change them for His Highness's guards." ”

"No!" The man answered, turned around and beckoned to the other men, and exited the room with them.

After a while, a few men folded back more than a dozen sets of brand-new clothes, lined up behind Gongsun Lan.

Turning his head to look at the men holding their clothes, Gongsun Lan waved his hand, and the men immediately walked to the dragon rider guards who had already stood up and were like chickens in soup.

The dragoon guards did not immediately go to get the clothes on the hands of the men, but set their eyes on Liu Wei.

It wasn't until Liu Wei nodded slowly that more than a dozen dragoon guards took the clothes from the hands of the men, and one by one they held clean shirts in their hands and stood in the hall.

"General Yuan!" After the dragoon guard took his clothes, Liu Wei said to Yuan Xi, who was standing behind him: "General Fulao will return to the official mansion first and prepare a banquet, and this king will have a banquet for General Gongsun this evening to congratulate us on the alliance reached!" ”

"Obey Your Highness's will!" Yuan Xi answered, clenched his fists, took two steps back, and then turned around and left the room.

"You wait to change into your clothes, and then return to the government with this king." When Yuan Xi left, Liu Wei frowned slightly, explained to the more than ten dragoons who were holding their clothes in their hands but did not change into them immediately, turned around and walked out of the room.

Guan Qing and Gongsun Lan followed closely behind Liu Bian, and as soon as they left the door, Gongsun Lan lowered her voice and asked Liu Bian: "Your Highness thinks that the battle between Jizhou Yuan and Gongsun Zhan, who will win or lose?" ”

"I can't wait to get some autumn breeze!" Liu Wei didn't go to see Gongsun Lan, but just smiled slightly, looked up at the sky, and said as if talking to himself: "The Yuan family is loyal to the imperial court, Dong Zhuo was strong back then, and Yuan Kui and others were killed because Yuan Shao raised troops against Dong, which can be described as full of loyalty. Gongsun Zhan is strong and middle-handed, and there is no capable manpower available, so he will definitely not be Yuan's opponent in the long run. Since the Yuan clan wants the whole of Hebei, this king will give them this land! ”

Liu Wei's words were meaningful, Gongsun Lan listened to them in her ears, although she tasted the taste, but she didn't speak, but with a faint smile on her face, she bowed slightly and stood behind Liu Wei.

"The women in the happy household are all pitiful people!" After standing outside the house for a long time, and after more than a dozen dragoon guards changed into dry clothes, and retrieved the long swords they were equipped with, Liu Biancai said to Gongsun Lan: "General Gongsun, don't embarrass them!" ”

The women in the Lehu were all controlled before Gongsun Lan met Liu Wei, and now they are like a flock of lambs to the slaughter, and Gongsun Lan only needs a thought to let them live or die.

"Your Majesty must obey His Highness's instructions!" didn't expect Liu Wei to be worried about that group of dusty women, Gongsun Lan was stunned for a moment, a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, as if she understood something, she hugged her fists and bowed, and said to Liu Bian: "I won't touch a hair of them!" ”

"Tonight, the king will be waiting for General Gongsun in the official palace!" Nodding, Liu Wei explained to Gongsun Lan, and surrounded by Guan Qing and more than a dozen dragoon guards who had changed into dry and deep clothes, he left the Lehu compound, walked onto the street, and went straight to the direction of the official mansion.

Liu Wei and the others were sent out of the gate of Lehu until Liu Wei and the others walked away, and Gongsun Lan returned to the courtyard of Lehu, turned her head to look at the attic on the right, and said to the two men on the side: "Except for the people in the other place, don't miss one, and everyone else will be released!" ”

"No!" After receiving Gongsun Lan's order, the two men bowed in unison with their fists in response, and then the two walked briskly towards the main hall and the attic on the right side of Lehu respectively.

Standing in the courtyard, looking in the direction of the attic on the right, it didn't take long for Gongsun Lan to hear a scream of men and women coming from the attic on the right.

The howl didn't last long, but it was just a dozen breaths, and the peace in Lehu's courtyard was restored.

led Guan Qing and a team of dragoons to leave Lehu and walked briskly along the bluestone street towards the official mansion. Along the way, countless women on the street cast admiring glances at Liu Wei and Guan Qing, and when they were far away, many women even looked at their backs, pointing, and muttering something.

Some of the older aunts whispered about Liu Wei and Guan Qing Junqiao, as well as those dragoon guards, who were all alive and well, and they would definitely serve the women who were committed to them. Listening to their conversation, those girls who were still young and had not yet gone through personnel were all blushing and wanted not to listen, but they couldn't restrain themselves and wanted to listen more.

If he hadn't met Gongsun Lan and been chased and talked about by the women on the street, Liu Wei would definitely feel uncomfortable.

However, since he met Gongsun Lan and learned that there was another powerful force in Jizhou, Liu Wei's mind has always revolved around what kind of benefits the Gongsun family in Liaodong wants to get in the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and where is the leisure to care about what those women are talking about.

"Qing'er!" Seeing that he was about to walk to the official mansion, Liu Wei whispered to Guan Qing, who was following behind, "What do you think of that Gongsun Lan?" ”

"It's too white!" As soon as Liu Wei's question was asked, Guan Qing frowned slightly, and said with a little uncertainty in his expression: "And this person's eyes are soft, and his voice is a little too good......"

"What does Qing'er want to say?" From Guan Qing's words, Liu Wei vaguely heard some different meanings, he turned his head to look at Guan Qing's pretty face with a slight frown, slowed down his steps, and asked Guan Qing, "But what clues do you see?" ”

"No!" Guan Qing shook his head, looked back at Liu Wei, and said with some hesitation: "Qing'er always feels that he doesn't look like a man, but like a soft woman." It's just that it's much more vicious than ordinary women! ”

"Woman?" Listening to Guan Qing's words, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything more, and walked quickly to the Handan official mansion.

In Handan City, there is a lot of grain and grass, and there is no shortage of meat. This is also one of the fundamental factors when the Montenegrin army besieged the city, the number of defenders in the city was very small, but the morale did not decrease.

led Guan Qing and the others, and just returned to the official mansion, Liu Wei did not rush to the front hall, but ordered someone to find Pang Tong and took Guan Qing straight to the attic in the backyard.

The attic where Liu Wei lives is located in the golden section of the back garden of the official mansion. The rooms on the second floor of the attic have windows open on both sides of the front and back, and when you stand by the window, you can enjoy the view of the entire back garden.

Back in the attic, Liu Wei walked to the window facing the outer courtyard and looked at the round door between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. Guan Qing, who entered the room with him, stood one step behind him and quietly watched his back.

has been with Liu Wei for a long time, and Guan Qing knows that Liu Wei has a habit. He thinks about things that are difficult to figure out, and always likes to stand at the window, let the wind blow on his cheeks, and seek some refreshment from the breeze, in order to peel off the cocoon as soon as possible and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

When Liu Wei was thinking, Guan Qing would not easily interrupt his thoughts. At this time, what she will do is to protect Liu Wei and not let anyone have a chance to take advantage of it.

Liu Wei, who was standing by the window, was not thinking about how to deal with the Gongsun family in Liaodong at this time, but thinking more about what Guan Qing said to him on the way back.

When he met Gongsun Lan, Liu Wei didn't find anything unusual about him, but Guan Qing said that he was probably a woman.

As a daughter's family, her mind is much more slender than that of men, and sometimes, women's intuition is more direct and closer to the truth than men's thoughtfulness!

If Guan Qing's intuition is really right, Gongsun Lan is a daughter's family, then what she has to do when she comes to the Central Plains as a woman may not be as simple as forming an alliance with Liu Wei. What is more urgent, the Gongsun family of Liaodong needs to send a daughter to the Central Plains?

Liu Bian's mind was full of thoughts about whether Gongsun Lan was a man or a woman, and when he came to the Central Plains, in addition to uniting him and Yuan Shao to attack Gongsun Zhan, there was something more important, and the voice of a guard Yu Lin Wei came from outside the door: "Your Highness Qiqi, the military advisor asks to see you!" ”

Liu Wei, who was thinking about things, didn't hear the voice of Yu Lin Wei, but Guan Qing, who was standing behind him, heard it really.

"Your Highness, the military advisor is here!" Seeing that Liu Wei did not react, Guan Qing took a half step forward and reminded him in a low voice.

Hearing Guan Qing speak, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, hurriedly turned around, and said to Guan Qing: "Quickly invite the military advisor to come in and speak!" ”

"No!" Guan Qing answered, turned around and walked to the door, opened the door, and happened to see Pang Tong standing outside the door, waiting for Liu Wei to summon him.

"Strategist!" Seeing Pang Tong, Guan Qing clasped his fists, saluted him, and said to him, "Your Highness is waiting in the house!" ”

Clasped his hands into fists and gave Guan Qing a salute, Pang Tong raised his feet and stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.

"The military advisor is coming in quickly, this king has something important to discuss with the military advisor!" As soon as Pang Tong entered the room, Liu Wei, who was standing with his back to the window, made a gesture of invitation to him, asking him to enter quickly.

Seeing Liu Bian's anxious look, Pang Tong knew that he must have encountered a difficult problem, so he saluted Liu Bian, did not push and shove, and walked straight to a straw mat in the house, and when Liu Bian sat down in the main seat, he also sat down.
