A group of people gathered around the side withdrew with a bang. Get out of the way. Ouyang Zhen turned his head to look, and saw a burly and handsome man standing in front of the Qianyuan Palace, looking at the group of people with a smile, wearing a black and jade crown, as if he had come here to stroll inadvertently, but behind him was a group of well-armored generals, all of whom were solemn and the atmosphere was tense.

He is Chu Dinghou. Ouyang Zhen said in his heart. The Chu soldiers beside him suddenly pounced, and hurriedly knelt down, and the people around him woke up like a dream, like the wind blowing grass, kneeling down one by one. Even the Emperor of the Emperor was busy bowing with the queen.

Ouyang Zhen slowly withdrew his clenched hand, firmly held the emperor in his arms, and stood quietly, staring straight at him with deep eyes. Chu Dinghou's face was silent, a pair of eyes swept lightly over her face, seeing her staring at herself with a pair of deep and wonderful eyes, she didn't know how to avoid it, a little crimson person in her arms, she hugged her tightly like a hen guarding her chicks.

Many, many years later, when Ouyang Zhen recalled the first time they met, she often fell into a trance of memory, as if she still remembered the pungent smell of blood choking on her chest that day, unable to suck it in or cough it out.

And he, standing coldly on the steps, did not look at the contempt of the triumphant victor she expected, as if the stubbornness of her standing was only ordinary.

The two looked at each other quietly for a moment, and the dark tide at the intersection surged, one was a man with high and powerful power, and the other was a woman with hatred and anger. His indifference and iron will coldly responded to her gaze.

Ouyang Zhen only felt that his breathing began to become heavier, as if he couldn't bear such an urgent breath.

Chu Dinghou's expression did not change, but he was silent. The attendant on the side saw that something was wrong, and was about to step forward to scold, but Chu Dinghou suddenly said: "Forget it, let her be." The chamberlain looked surprised, but then frowned and said nothing.

Chu Dinghou retracted his eyes, looked around, his eyes fell on Emperor Hua on the side, and he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Duke Hua Guo is exempt, he really killed Chu." ”

Vantage only whispered, as if he didn't dare to say a word, but he was shocked into a cold sweat. Chu Dinghou only asked him a few words casually, then turned back to the chamberlain beside him and said, "Jingcai, in the evening, you ordered the meritorious generals to go down and buy it, are they all ready?" ”

Li Jingcai has followed Chu Dinghou since he was a child, and he knows his temperament very well, so he said unhurriedly at the moment: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I have already ordered to go down, and all the generals are also preparing to have a hearty drink." ”

Chu Dinghou had a smile on his face, and his usually serious and deep face was also much softened. Emperor Hua only felt that the pressure on his body was suddenly a little less, and he didn't care about the humiliation in his heart, so he only said words of praise and virtue one after another.

Chu Dinghou was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't show his face, he only responded a few times politely, then turned his head and said to Li Jingcai: "Tell me to go down, don't make trouble from today's banquet." If there is no reason, military law will be engaged! ”

Li Jingcai hurriedly nodded in agreement, and suddenly saw Chu Dinghou's eyes swept towards a plain-clothed woman in the crowd, who stood cold and arrogantly in a group of miserable harem women, like standing out from the crowd. Suddenly realized in his heart, and was about to purse his lips and snicker, when he suddenly saw Chu Dinghou turn his head, his eyes flashed sharply at him, and he hurriedly removed the color on his face, and retreated respectfully.

……

The night has gradually fallen, and Ouyang Zhen can hear bursts of singing and dancing outside the window, such as the murmur of the March warbler, which is the new word card that is popular in Huaguo at the moment.

"Xiaomeng is sad, tears are dry, and the blue bird does not pass on foreign letters. The red path is full, the fragrant butterflies are splendid, and the stone is cool and frightening. ……”

The ethereal singing pervades every corner of the Qianyuan Palace, and it seems that there is no trace of sorrow and desolation, as if as long as you close your eyes, it is still the singing and dancing level, splendid and prosperous Huaguo court.

There has never been a war, and there has never been a parting of life and death.

Ouyang Zhen closed his eyes tightly, curled up and leaned against a brocade pier, and patted the back of the person in his arms for a while. After Chu Dinghou left, she was escorted into this small room by several Chu soldiers, and when she walked past the chamberlain standing beside Chu Dinghou, she suddenly saw him smiling at her in a flying block.

When Ouyang Zhen saw it clearly, he had already ordered a few Chu soldiers to guard it well and not be rude or anything like that.

Ouyang Zhen chuckled in his heart, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. My heart went up and down, but I didn't dare to act again. Ling Xiang, who was in his arms at that time, seemed to be scared stupidly, and only hugged her neck firmly. Ouyang Zhen saw that she looked panicked, so he had to comfort her softly, and he couldn't think about it anymore.

"Mother, mother, Xiangxiang is hungry." I don't know how long it took, Ling Xiang in Ouyang Zhen's arms suddenly woke up, tugged at her shirt and said softly, it's strange to say, since she hugged her, she has regarded herself as a concubine and stopped crying.

When Ouyang Zhen heard this, he had no idea for a while, so he had to coax her and said, "Xiangxiang is good, the mother concubine will bring you food." "I searched the house and didn't see anything to eat, not even water, but I was sweating all over my head.

I had to go up and bang on the door. The Chu soldiers outside the door had a dark face and asked in a rough voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Ouyang Zhen's heart was bright, and he hurriedly took out a purse from his waist, pinched out a piece of gold, and begged softly: "Several military masters, the children of the concubines are hungry, can you trouble the military masters to send a bowl of rice porridge." I beg the military master to take pity on the child......

Before he finished speaking, Chu Bing outside the door had already grabbed the gold unceremoniously: "Okay, just wait." It's such a mess, I haven't even eaten. ”

Suddenly someone on the side said: "Gonggong Li has ordered, you must take good care of it, and you can't treat ...... lightly" Another person next to him said vaguely: "It's just a bowl of rice porridge, a woman and a child, you keep it, I'll take it." ”
