Chapter 230: Riding Alone at Night (I)
After King Wei left, Shu'er moved the two large jars of scorching rain that were stored in the small kitchen of the Changyuan Hall to the house.
Liu Ying smiled and watched the petite and delicate Shu'er raise the wine jar with little force, and the wine was poured into a large wooden bowl with a bang. He hugged Shu'er from behind and whispered in her ear: "Aren't you afraid that Xiling Xianggong will drink too much and play crazy with you?" These two jars of wine, but five years of scorching rain, have great stamina! ”
Shu'er handed the wooden bowl to Liu Ying's hand and said, "Didn't I say, 'The rivers and lakes are sinister, don't drink too much wine'?" I see that you have secretly hidden two jars of good wine in the kitchen, so why don't we get drunk tonight! After drinking these two jars of wine, you promise me that you will never drink alone in the future! In particular, you can't drink spirits! ”
Liu Ying let go of Shu'er and drank all the wine in the bowl. "Shu'er, I promise you, and you must also promise me, drink less and worry less! We both have to be happy, no matter what we do. ”
Shu'er said, "Okay." ”
That night, there was a light snow in Weiguo Dongyang, Liu Ying and Shu'er sat on the couch and drank wine, and a small red clay stove was burning in front of the couch.
Liu Ying said: "Shu'er, there is one thing I want to discuss with you. ”
Shu'er smiled charmingly: "What's the matter?" What if I don't agree? What are you going to do? ”
Liu Ying sighed: "I promised you three things, the last one, after Qi Wei returns to the country, I will stand up to you in the world and enjoy the rivers and lakes...... I told you that Qi Wei's restoration of the country began with the restoration of the country and will definitely end with the restoration of the country. But at that time, I didn't know my background, and I didn't know that I actually had the blood of the Song royal family. ”
Shu'er still smiled, poured a large bowl of wine and handed it to Liu Ying, and said, "Do you want to say that after Qi Wei returns to the country, you don't want to be at ease with me?" ”
Liu Ying took a big sip of the liquor and explained: "It's not that I don't want to, but I probably want to postpone it...... Some years. ”
Shu'er squinted her eyes, pushed the wooden bowl to Liu Ying's mouth again, and said, "Okay! If you want to postpone it for as many years, just make a few bowls of wine! ”
Liu Ying asked, "Don't you blame me for going back on my word?" ”
Shu'er shook her head and waved her hand again. "What is this a 'backtrack'? It's not that you don't want to, you're just putting it off. At best, it's 'ineffective'. Say, how many bowls of wine do you want to drink? ”
Liu Ying hesitated: "How many years will it take...... I can't say it well. ”
The corners of Shu'er's mouth bent, glanced at the two jars of wine on the side of the couch, and said: "Since it is not good, then these two jars of wine cannot be one person and one jar, and they cannot be divided in half!" As...... The lord drinks half a bowl, and the young master drinks two bowls! ”
Liu Ying did not complain, and while drinking bowl after bowl of wine, he explained to Shu'er: "My father-in-law said that Qi Wei's restoration of the country is just the beginning. The great thing he wants to accomplish is actually to unify the countries of Kyushu. Only by unifying the nations can the world stop fighting. ”
Shu'er nodded in agreement: "What my father-in-law said makes sense." ”
Liu Ying continued: "However, since the arrogant Zhou Yu was shattered and Kyushu fell apart for five hundred years, even King Wu of Song, who broke through the two countries of Qi and Wei in one fell swoop, failed to complete the great cause of unifying the countries. The reason is that the world cannot return to the heart. ”
Without waiting for Liu Ying to say more, Shu'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I know!" My Father-in-law wants you to accomplish the great cause of unifying the nations! You see, your father is King Song Huai, your mother is the princess of Qi, and the father-in-law who raised you is King Wei! Your wife is the princess of Chu, the richest man in Chen, and the king of Shu, who is very good to you, and he doesn't care much about royal power at all. In Kyushu, there is no one more suitable to do this than you! ”
Liu Ying looked at Shu'er, who was suddenly beaming with joy, and said, "Aren't you unwilling to let me covet royal power and wealth?" ”
Shu'er shook her head and said, "This time, that time!" In fact, royal power and wealth can be included in your pocket soon, not 'greedy', but just 'accept'. The so-called 'royal power', you already have the most noble blood kinship in Kyushu, so you are a born emperor. As for 'wealth', you will inherit the large amount of wealth left by the Zhuge family on Xuanji Island! If the great cause of unifying the kingdoms wins, you will use the gold and silver treasures in the ancient tomb of King Zhou to build a unified land of Kyushu. If, I mean, 'if', the great cause fails, but it is just a loss of royal power, should it be rich, or rich, right? ”
Liu Ying frowned and said, "Shu'er, I really just want to live a leisurely life with you." We do business everywhere, I compile some books, urge our children to practice martial arts well, and can eat three meals a day with you every day, and have a drink after meals, this is my Zhuge calm...... Liu Ying...... Ask for it all your life! However, my father-in-law raised me with great pains, and silently paved this imperial road for me...... I can't let him down. ”
Shu'er poured Liu Ying another bowl of wine, smiled brightly, and said, "I know this is my father-in-law's expectation for you." Your father-in-law has the grace to nurture you, and his expectations must certainly not be disappointed! And this road is the way that fathers all over the world want to pave for their sons, not to mention, he is not your biological father, but only your stepfather. His doting on you can be said to have reached the point where everyone in the world is jealous! You have such a good father-in-law and such a good future, how can I be willing to force you to go with me? ”
Liu Ying dried the wine handed by Shu'er, the smell of wine surged, and he suddenly felt a little dizzy. With the help of alcohol and doubts, he finally spoke: "Shu'er, what you said about 'this time, that time', is it really for my good, or do you just want me to be distracted to covet royal power and wealth?" ”
Shu'er replied sincerely: "Naturally, I am sincerely for your good. If my husband can bring the world to his heart, it will be too late for me to rejoice in you! ”
Liu Ying sighed: "I mean...... Alas! If I ask, I hope you won't be angry! ”
Shu'er smiled and said, "You ask! What do I have to be angry with you? ”
Liu Ying said: "Actually, your husband is ...... He is jealous. I didn't believe the rumors about you and King Song before, because you are most likely his half-sister. But now it seems that it is me, not you, who is related to him by blood. As a result, I don't know whether to believe or not to believe the rumors that passers-by know. ”
Shu'er was still smiling warmly.
Liu Ying suddenly felt that in front of her smile, his jealousy was really dark. But he didn't want to hide anything from Shu'er, so he said: "Shu'er, King Song can release 80,000 allied troops for you, and he has already done it for you, but I am begging you to give me more time, and these times will even be many, many years...... I just want to ask you, have you ever wavered in the slightest between Liu Jing and Liu Ying? ”
Shu'er handed another bowl of wine to Liu Ying, and her tone was seductive: "Do you really want to know?" ”
Liu Ying looked at Shu'er eagerly, but she felt more and more dizzy and dizzy, and the figure was in a trance.
Shu'er said, "If you dry this bowl of wine, I will tell you the truth!" ”
Liu Ying drank a whole bowl of wine with a bang, and his consciousness was gradually blurred.
Shu'er helped Liu Ying to lie down on the couch, watching him struggle to keep looking at her until he waited for her answer, but his eyes slowly closed. After a while, his breathing became more and his breathing steadied and his snoring was faint.
Shu'er lightly imprinted a kiss on Liu Ying's cheek and whispered, "I have never wavered." "If you want to talk about "The Ups and Downs of the Nations" with more like-minded people, follow "Hot Network or rd444" on WeChat to chat about your favorite books with more book friends
