Chu Liuyan and Xu Da, wearing stars and moons, rushed to Hanyang City.
When he arrived outside Hanyang City, Xu Da said to the guards: "We are the envoys Xu Da and Chu Liuyan sent by Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang, who came to pay homage to the King of Han and implore them to be passed on. As soon as the guard heard that it was Zhu Yuanzhang's side, he was immediately very vigilant, and he immediately told the chief guard, who sent someone to guard the city gate and went to communicate with Chen Youliang.
Chen Youliang was ambitious, and after attacking Xiayingtian, Zhu Yuanzhang's vitality was greatly injured, and he had no power to fight back in the future. And Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang fought before, and they were both defeated. Soon, he Chen Youliang will be able to eliminate the two teams of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng, and then attack Liu Futong, the Northern Expedition to the imperial court, and dominate the world.
He was plotting with Yi Weilan and other subordinates, and suddenly someone came to tell him, saying that Xu Da and Chu Liuyan were here. Chen Youliang originally refused to see him, but when he suddenly heard the name Chu Liuyan, he thought about it again and again, and said, "Please!" ”
The captain of the guard was a little stunned, and stood still until Chen Youliang said it a second time, and he replied, "Yes." Then he turned and went down.
Xu Da and Chu Liuyan were invited into the Han Palace, which Chen Youliang built in Hanyang City. The whole palace is magnificent, and it is really not the same as Yingtian. Chen Youliang had feelings for Chu Liuyan early, he almost killed Chu Liuyan before, looking back, he felt guilty, and now he sees him again, and he is happy in his heart.
The so-called love has always been a sad and murderous word. Whether it is a hero like Xu Da, or a reckless person who often encounters spring, whether it is a hero like Chen Youliang, or a traitorous man like Yi Weilan, no one can escape the word "love". In the face of the world, no matter how proud he is, but in front of the woman he loves, he always puts himself very low, no different from ordinary people. Therefore, Xu Dacai was willing to kill Zhongli County for Chu Liuyan, Chang Yuchun was willing to kill and surrender repeatedly for the death of the blue phoenix, and Yi Weilan would betray Chen Youliang for Ruan Xinxin, even at the cost of sacrificing his own life; And like Chen Youliang, for the sake of Chu Liuyan, he is willing to do things that are very different from usual.
When Chu Liuyan and Xu Da saw Chen Youliang, they first said hello to Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang ordered someone to take a chair for the two of them to sit on. Seeing Chu Liuyan's face full of dust, he couldn't help blurting out: "Miss Chu, you have worked hard all the way. Do you want to go to the back hall to rest first, and then discuss if you have something. ”
Chu Liuyan said lightly: "No need. Thank you King Han for your kindness. Liuyan came this time to meet the King of Han on behalf of the marshal. The marshal had a letter, and the deputy marshal and I brought it to the King of Han. ”
After Chu Liuyan finished speaking, Xu Da took out the letter and stepped forward with a smile. Chen Youliang had seen Xiaoxiao's power, and he had palpitations, and when he saw Xiaoxiao coming forward, he was ten steps away from him, and he had already said: "No need, Weilan, you can help this king take the letter." ”
Yi Weilan didn't dare to disobey, and stepped forward to take the letter. After reading the letter, Chen Youliang was full of smiles and noncommittal. Chu Liuyan always felt a chill in his heart, because Chen Youliang was laughing almost anytime and anywhere, and he had a smile on his face almost all the time, but his eyes were almost not smiling.
Xu Da clenched his fists and said: "King Han, this time, we also know that it is a little abrupt. It's just that the King of Han and our marshal are from poor families, and we are jointly fighting against the Yuan Dynasty's court. This time, our marshal really wants to unite with the King of Han, I don't know what the King of Han wants? ”
Chen Youliang sneered in his heart, and said in his heart: Zhu Yuanzhang, you are really too unintelligent. It was almost under the city before they wanted to form an alliance with me and ask me to stop the attack. Before, you attacked my Chizhou and Jiuhua Mountain, killing countless of my soldiers, why don't you want to think about this sentence?
Although Chen Youliang thought so in his heart, he didn't say it on the surface. He just said, "It's getting late now, let's discuss the state affairs tomorrow." Miss Chu, at night, this king will wash the dust for you and Deputy Marshal Xu, please be sure to appreciate your face. ”
Chu Liuyan and Xu Da glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
After Chen Youliang sent someone to send Chu Liuyan and Xu Da away, Yi Weilan said beside him: "King Han, now that Yingtian is within reach, Zhu Yuanzhang is already like a turtle in an urn, why does King Han still talk to them about morality?" Although it is said that the two countries are at war and do not kill them, but now it is a troubled time, and everyone is in danger and has no time to take care of themselves. Xu Da and Chu Liuyan, one is a general under Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is a strategist under Zhu Yuanzhang. Why didn't the King of Han just kill them, and go to Zhu Yuanzhang's right-hand man? ”
Chen Youliang shook his head and said: "Xu Danai is a usable talent, if you can take him for your own use, it will really be better than 100,000 male soldiers." If Xu Da refuses, don't blame this king for being unkind. As for Chu Liuyan, without the king's order, no one is allowed to touch a single hair of her. Chen Youliang restrained his smile and said gloomily.
Yi Weilan's heart sank, and she hurriedly replied, "Yes." ”
In fact, Yi Weilan had a plan in her heart. At the beginning, he couldn't kill Chu Liuyan, and he was hurt by Xiaoxiao, and he held a grudge in his heart. In addition, Chu Liuyan knew his secret, and he also knew that Ruan Xinxin was still alive in this world, and if he didn't kill Chu Liuyan for a day, Yi Weilan would be uneasy.
However, Chen Youliang's affection for Chu Liuyan, Yi Weilan also saw it clearly. If he refused to obey Chen Youliang's orders and killed Chu Liuyan, Chen Youliang would probably not let him go.
Yi Weilan walked out of the Xuanhua Hall of the Han Palace, thinking about how to get rid of Chu Liuyan in her heart. If Chu Liuyan is not removed for a day, it will be an invisible threat to himself. This is something that Yi Weilan will never allow to happen.
He remembered that Chen Youliang said that he would catch the wind for Chu Liuyan and Xu Da at night, and he had an idea in his heart.
It's night, Ronghua Palace.
The fragrant wind is gusting and the lights are brilliant. In the midst of the staggered planning, I couldn't see the solemn atmosphere of the war for half a minute.
It's just that Chu Liuyan and Xu Da all have other arms, and they seem to be a little worried. Chen Youliang pretended not to know, and repeatedly toasted three times.
After three rounds of wine, someone brought up the celadon dishes from Jingdezhen and said, "King Qihan, this is a dish specially prepared for Miss Chu today, called 'Rouge Snow'." This dish is made by collecting the petals of the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, and it is eaten by women to maintain beauty and beauty. Knowing that Miss Chu was the guest of honor of King Han, Shen Chushen specially cooked it. I hope Miss Chu likes it. ”
The one holding the "Rouge Snow" was a young man in his early twenties, with a delicate appearance and a decent speech. Chu Liuyan smiled slightly, Chen Youliang was very happy, and said, "Come on!" Serve this dish and invite Miss Chu to taste it! ”
"Rouge Snow" was quickly brought to Chu Liuyan. The dish is indeed made with flower petals and nuts, and it looks crystal clear and mouth-watering. It's just that there are walnut kernels on it, which Chu Liuyan never eats. Chu Liuyan knew in his heart that Chen Youliang had affection for him, and this dish must have been deliberately made for him by him.
Chu Liuyan deliberately pushed and said, "Thank you marshal for your kindness." It's just that I didn't eat walnuts since I was a child. I'm afraid I can only live up to the marshal. When she said these words, she had a deep meaning. Chen Youliang didn't understand. Chen Youliang was slightly stunned in his heart, but when he saw Chu Liuyan's face like a flower, he couldn't get angry anymore.
Chu Liuyan saw a woman standing behind Chen Youliang, dressed in blue and blue Qiluo clothes, wearing a blue moon hairpin, with a beautiful face, she didn't look like an ordinary maid, and she knew in her heart that most of them were Chen Youliang's favorite concubines and the like. She said: "This rouge snow is also the heart of the King of Han, and the smoke is conniving and cannot be eaten, but it cannot be wasted by the King of Han's thoughts." Why don't you give it to this sister, what does King Han think? ”
As Chu Liuyan spoke, his eyes looked at the woman behind Chen Youliang.
Chu Liuyan did not guess wrong, this woman was one of Chen Youliang's concubines. She is smart by nature, good-looking, and knows how to understand Chen Youliang's heart, so Chen Youliang often asks her to accompany her. When she heard that she had given her rouge snow, she was overjoyed. This rouge snow is extremely valuable, and not everyone can eat it.
Although Chen Youliang was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to disobey Chu Liuyan's intentions, so he turned around and said, "Xiao Niang, since it was given by Miss Chu, you should be disrespectful." Sit down next to Miss Chu and join us in the feast. ”
The woman named Xiao Niang was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you King Han." After speaking, Ying Ying stood up and sat down beside Chu Liuyan.
