Lu Bu led the army to Luoyang, and ten months had passed in a blink of an eye.

Since meeting Diao Chan in Cai Yan's dormitory, Diao Chan has come to the palace almost every day. At first, she only discussed the origin of the piano rhythm with Cai Yan, but later, she actually visited Liu Wei directly.

In the first days, Diao Chan came to the palace, and Liu Wei would always deliberately avoid her. After a few days, Liu Wei found that when Diao Chan met him, his demeanor was very calm, just talking about the past of being taken care of by him in Chang'an City, and never mentioned the vow when he parted that day, and his heart was a little calmer.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, the early autumn has passed, and the golden autumn quietly stretches out its tentacles and caresses the earth.

The autumn wind swept through the fields, gently swaying patches of golden grain. The plump ears of grain bent the stalks, and the millet swayed with the wind, making a soft "rustle" sound, like a piece of golden waves surging in pieces.

The peasants, barefoot, dressed only in dark clothes and with their sturdy calves exposed, wielded their scythes from field to field, reaping the toil of the whole year.

Seeing that the sun was rising in the middle of the day, many women rushed from the village to the fields with clay pots for food, laughing and laughing with each other, to bring lunch to the men who were working in their families.

A fast horse galloped from a distance, startling the birds in the treetops. Flocks of frightened birds, flapping their wings and making a "squeak" scream, jumped into the blue sky.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the peaceful harvest picture in the field, bringing a bit of depression to this natural tranquility.

The women, with clay pots in their arms, retreated to the side of the road and watched the fast horses leap past them. The people who were busy in the fields also straightened their waists and watched from a distance as a Luoyang Army cavalry rode away.

Riding on horseback was a cavalry of the Luoyang Army without a red tassel on his helmet. The war horse under his crotch, although it is also a northern horse breed, is much worse than the main horse's foot.

Starting from Hedong County, he stayed overnight, all the way to Luoyang, the war horse under the crotch was already spewing white steam, showing that his physical strength was a little exhausted.

Passing through the suburbs of Luoyang, you can already see the towering city wall in the distance. The cavalryman on horseback clamped his legs the horse's belly, raised his horsewhip, shook it in the void, and at the same time as the horsewhip made a crisp "snap", he also shouted "Ride!" ”

The war horse sped up a little, but the horse also had a physical limit after all, and it galloped for hundreds of miles in a row.

Seeing that it was only a hundred steps away from Luoyang City, the war horse suddenly screamed, and its two front legs were weak, turned over, and planted it forward.

The cavalry on horseback was caught off guard, and the whole person was thrown out of the war horse. His body flipped in the air a few times, and when the heavy body of the war horse fell to the ground and kicked up a puff of smoke, he was also face down, and his legs were sturdy.

This fall was not light, if he wasn't wearing a helmet, I'm afraid his head would have been smashed into a rotten watermelon by the hard ground.

The bones all over his body seemed to have been broken apart, and the cavalry raised his head strongly, and a red blood stain flowed down his head, blurring his eyes, and everything in front of him turned red.

With his arms trembling slightly, he stood up stiffly, his legs trembling, and he staggered in place for a moment, until he felt a little better, and then staggered towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw a soldier of the Luoyang Army running over, covered in blood, and two of them hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing that a companion was approaching, the cavalry finally relieved the last trace of strength that had been holding him on for running, and fell to the ground.

"Brother, brother!" Two Luoyang soldiers who came up hurriedly stepped forward, and one of them hugged the cavalryman's neck and called out to him loudly.

"Quick...... Hurry up and ...... Your Highness" Hearing someone calling, the cavalry woke up faintly, put his hand on his chest, as if he wanted to pull out something, but his strength was exhausted, and before he finished speaking, he fell unconscious again.

"Come on!" Seeing that the cavalry had fainted, the Luoyang soldier who was holding his neck turned his head and shouted towards the city gate.

Another soldier put his hand into the cavalryman's collar, pulled out a round bamboo tube from it, turned around and ran towards the city.

After a stick of incense, the back garden of Luoyang Palace, the residence of Guan Qing and Liu Nu.

Liu Wei sat in the front hall, holding a battle report that had just been delivered from Hedong in his hand.

Yuan Xi and Jia Xu returned to Jizhou, and Jia Xu, with his incorruptible tongue and Yuan Xi's secret help, did not spend much time to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Gongsun Zhan. But before Yuan Shao sent his troops, Liu Yu had been defeated and killed.

As Liu Wei expected that day, Gongsun Zhan united with the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, intending to attack left and right and break Yuan Shao. What the cavalry sent was a battle report about the Jizhou area.

"Your Highness!" Pinching the battle report, Liu Weizheng frowned slightly, thinking about how to advance and retreat, Guan Qing on the side called him in a low voice, looked at him with a little worry on his face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing Guan Qing call him, Liu Wei stretched out his hand and handed her the battle report, and said to her: "Yuan Shao has already raised troops and declared war on Gongsun Zhan. But Liu Yu was defeated and died early, and now Gongsun Chan and the Black Mountain Yellow Turban are attacking back and forth, with the power of Jizhou, it may be difficult to deal with! ”

"What does Your Highness think?" After receiving the battle report handed by Liu Bian, Guan Qing briefly browsed it, and her delicate little brows frowned slightly, and said to Liu Bian: "It is the autumn harvest now, and His Royal Highness has sent troops, I am afraid that the troops in the territory are empty." ”

"That's fine!" Liu Wei shook his head, stared at Guan Qing, and said to her: "It's just that I will come to Luoyang in a few days and take back Liunu ......"

Liu Wei was talking, and Liu Nu, who had just walked into the front hall with a smile on his face, had just gone to the back garden to play, and listened to his words sincerely.

When Liu Wei said that Lu Qubei was going to take her back to the Xiongnu, the smile on Liu Nu's face instantly froze, and in a daze, her hand unconsciously let go, and the handful of Qiu Ju she was holding in her hand also fell to the ground.

Hearing footsteps, he turned his head to look at Liunu, who had entered the hall and was stunned there. Seeing that she was so shocked that even the autumn chrysanthemum in her hand fell to the ground, Liu Wei thought that she heard the news that she was about to return to the Xiongnu, and she lost her temper with excitement. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards Liunu.

"But when Ju Ci learned that he was going to be humble, he was overjoyed in his heart? Even the best flowers fell to the ground. Bending down to pick up the handful of autumn chrysanthemums from the ground, Liu Wei put the flowers to his nose, sniffed deeply, and said with a slight smile: "Although the autumn chrysanthemums are beautiful, it is a pity that the fragrance is insufficient." If it's spring, a hundred flowers will bloom......"

"I'm not leaving!" Liu Weizheng sighed that Qiu Ju was not fragrant enough, and Liu Nu, who had recovered from his shock, suddenly roared at him: "If His Royal Highness wants this to leave Luoyang, this will only be a ...... death."

"What's the matter?" I didn't expect Liu Nu to have this kind of reaction at all, Liu Wei blinked his eyes twice, first glanced back at Guan Qing a little blankly, and then turned his face and stared at Liu Nu, whose face was flushed, and he was already full of anger.

Facing Liu Wei's eyes, Liu Nu tightly twisted his delicate brows, and after a while, he snorted heavily and walked into the inner room quickly.

"What's wrong with her?" Seeing Liu Nu running into the inner room angrily, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Guan Qing and muttered in confusion.

"Your Highness really doesn't know what's going on in your daughter's family!" Guan Qing smiled slightly, his eyes bent into crescent moons, looked back at the bead curtain hanging at the door of the inner room, and said faintly: "Ju Ci has been secretly in His Royal Highness for a long time......

After saying the most lush, Guan Qing's tone revealed a bit of sadness, and his eyes that were bent into crescents returned to normal, and a trace of blush appeared on his complexion.

"Qing'er ......" heard a different meaning from Guan Qing's words, Liu Wei walked in front of her and gently took him into his arms.

"Your Highness!" The two were embracing each other, and a servant girl quickly stepped into the hall, blessed the two and said, "A sergeant outside the door said that there is something important to report!" ”

"Call him in!" Glancing at the servant, Liu Wei let go of the arms that were holding Guan Qing and gave a command to the servant.

The maidservant answered and exited the antechamber. But in a moment, a Yu Linwei stepped into the hall, holding a bamboo tube in both hands, half-kneeling on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there is a second urgent report from Hedong!" ”

"Bring it on!" Raising his hand towards that Yu Lin Weixu, Liu Wei gave him a faint order.

Holding the bamboo tube high above his head, Yu Linwei bowed down to Liu Bian, and when Liu Bian reached out to take the bamboo tube, he hugged his fist and saluted Liu Bian, then took two steps back, then turned around and walked out of the door of Guan Qing's residence.

Taking out the military newspaper from the bamboo tube, Liu Wei unfolded the not very large piece of paper and carefully skimmed through the contents on it.

When he finished reading this military report, his face immediately changed, and he shouted outside the house: "Someone! ”

A Yu Linwei, who had followed Liu Wei to this place and had been waiting outside the house, heard his shout, hurried into the hall, and stood at the door with his fists clenched.

"Hurry up and invite the military advisor and the generals to the front hall to discuss matters!" Holding the military report in his hand, Liu Wei gave an order to Yu Linwei, and when Yu Linwei answered, he was about to quit, and then he said: "Also, invite Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun too!" ”

"No!" That Yu Lin Wei answered again, and then exited the door.

"Qing'er, you also change into a military uniform and go to the front hall with this king!" When Yu Linwei left, Liu Wei gave another order to Guan Qing.

"No!" When Liu Wei spoke, his expression was very solemn, although he didn't know what the military report in his hand said, Guan Qing could see that the matter was very urgent, otherwise he would not be so anxious to gather the generals, so he hurriedly answered and quickly stepped into the inner room.

Entering the inner room, Guan Qing saw that Liu Nu was lying on the bed, with a pair of jade arms pillowed behind her head, staring at the ceiling with big eyes, and two tear stains had already slipped down the corners of her eyes on the cover.

Glancing at Liu Nu, Guan Qing sighed softly, walked to the armor stand, picked up the armor that had not been worn for a long time, and put it on his body.
