The hall fell silent.

Not only us, but even those singers and musicians, as well as the attendants and guards serving on both sides, all looked at Tu Shuhan nervously.

This is definitely not his decision alone, and his decision is by no means just about one person, if you want to fight, that is, the killing of thousands of troops. wins, and the people around him ascend to heaven; If you lose, all your previous achievements will be ruined.

He can't but be cautious.

I almost held my breath, looking at Tu Shuhan with wide eyes, his expression was also extraordinarily solemn, a pair of shallow and restrained eyes fixed on the boning knife in his hand, and the bright knife flashed in his eyes.

The silence lasted for a long time, and the hall was so quiet that even the sound of a pin falling on the floor could be heard, and at last even the sound of the wind outside became harsh.

After Liu Qinghan's words were finished, Tu Shuhan fell silent.

We all looked at him a little nervously, but we didn't say anything more, now is the time for him to weigh the gains and losses before making a decision, and it is best not to disturb him.

For a moment, the whole room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard.

After a long time, there was probably a cup of tea, but he still didn't speak, this time it wasn't just us, even the samurai behind him and around him were a little unable to sit still, although these people didn't speak, but their eyes were obviously confused.

I couldn't help it, and said tentatively: "General? ”

Tu Shuhan raised his head and glanced at me.

"I don't know the general—"

Before I finished my words, Tu Shuhan suddenly laughed and raised his wine glass.

"I salute Lord Liu and have a cup with Miss Yan."

He suddenly overwhelmed us, but the master had already opened his mouth, and we could only raise our glasses from the goodness. Tu Shuhan laughed and drank it all, Liu Qinghan and I didn't drink well, so we could only drink as much as we could.

As soon as he put down the wine glass, he heard Liu Qinghan covering his mouth and coughing.

Tu Shuhan waved his hand again, and immediately another attendant came in and brought more sumptuous wine and food.

He smiled: "Today, I want to stay drunk with the two of you!" ”

I hurriedly said, "General, the matter of sending troops-"

"Hey, let's just drink and have fun today, and we'll talk about the dispatch of troops later!"

After speaking, he asked the maid to fill a glass of wine and said to the two of us: "! ”

The words have already come to this, he didn't agree, but in a thought, Liu Qinghan and I glanced at each other, and knew that today's situation was difficult to go further, so I could only grit my teeth and raise my wine glass.

After drinking like this a few times in a row, although I was not as drunk as their men, Tu Shuhan sent me all the spirits, which was enough to make my face blush and look dazed.

Just when our faces were red and our ears were hot, and Liu Qinghan had been covering his mouth with a handkerchief and coughing lightly, Tu Shuhan suddenly said: "This time, the Dongchahe Department has gathered 200,000 troops, and it is menacing, but I don't know who they are leading the troops?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I heard that it's Kumuhan. ”

"Oh?"

"The general knows him too."

"Hmph," Tu Shuhan sneered: "This person can be regarded as a good hand." ”

I said tentatively, "Is the general sure about this person?" ”

Tu Shuhan glanced at me, didn't answer the question, just raised his glass and said, "I salute Miss Yan with a glass." ”

I could only raise my glass and take a sip with him.

As soon as he put down the cup, Tu Shuhan wiped his beard and said, "The Eastern Chahe Department has an army of 200,000 this time, so how many troops are there in Xichuan?" ”

“……”

His question, a little tricky, stopped me.

We begged him to send troops, and he asked us about the truth and truth, which was understandable, but the question was how to answer. If you talk too much, it will make people feel that the Shu army is incompetent and can't resist the cavalry of the Eastern Chahe Division; said less, not only did he not believe it, but he also revealed his shortcomings.

Besides, Pei Yuanfeng did not have many soldiers in his hands.

Inviting people to send troops is the same as inviting God, and after the invitation is over, you have to consider the issue of sending God.

I thought for a moment and said, "It's a lot, but if you want to win it all, you need the help of the general." ”

For this ambiguous answer, the corners of Tu Shuhan's mouth hooked, but he didn't break the casserole and ask in the end, but asked again: "Then, how many troops do you need my help?" ”

“……”

I looked at Liu Qinghan.

He sat across from me, and when he heard the question, he also looked up at me, but his face was pale.

After making eye contact with me, he lowered his head again, avoiding my gaze.

My heart sank.

Along the way, I only remember that he was Liu Qinghan, and I only remembered the tacit understanding between him and me that I didn't need to say before, but I almost forgot his identity, but at this moment his indifference made me sober up all of a sudden.

After all, he and I are people from two camps.

Forming an alliance with him and helping each other in the same boat is a natural thing in the deepest part of my consciousness, but for him, it is a tiger and wolf, and he must be constantly vigilant and calculating in order not to be devoured.

For a while, my throat was a little choked and I couldn't speak, and Tu Shuhan said again: "Miss Yan? ”

I came back to my senses, glanced at him, and said faintly: "This time, if the general can send 100,000 troops, he will definitely be able to make immortal contributions to the emperor, and the high-ranking officials and lords are just around the corner." ”

"One hundred thousand?"

Hearing this number, Tu Shuhan frowned.

Only then did I settle down: "This number shouldn't be a difficult thing for the general, right?" ”

He didn't speak, just took another big sip of wine, looking at his eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and wanted to say something, but he diverted the topic with other words.

After this banquet, I ate the same as chewing wax.

Tu Shuhan was polite to us, even enthusiastic, such a delicious meal and drink, but he never had a clear word, whether he could send troops or not, Liu Qinghan and I wanted to ask several times, but he took care of him and diverted the topic.

Seeing that the moon had risen in the sky, I couldn't help but want to ask again, when a soldier suddenly walked in from the side hall, walked to Tu Shuhan's side, and whispered a word. Tu Shuhan's thick black eyebrows immediately furrowed, and he muttered, "They are coming too slowly!" ”

It seems that someone has arrived.

Tu Shuhan waved his hand quietly: "Let them go to the council hall and wait." ”

After saying this, Tu Shuhan turned his head to look at us and said with a smile: "Two, General Ben still has some important things to deal with, so I will accompany you tonight." ”

“……”

Liu Qinghan and I glanced at each other, and we both understood a little that he was going to discuss with others.

Although the conditions and benefits we proposed made him tempted, sending troops was not a trivial matter after all, and Tu Shuhan still needed to carefully consider it with his staff members who joined the army.

It seems that this is the key to his decision!

Thinking of this, Liu Qinghan had already stood up and said with a smile: "Since the general still has important business to deal with, then we won't bother." ”

"Hopefully, you'll have a good time tonight."

"It's natural that the general is so hospitable."

"Hahahaha, okay. I've already prepared a room for the two of you, and if it's not too early today, the two of you will—"

"It's up to the general."

After being polite, the same team of maids who welcomed us before came over and took us down, and before leaving the hall, I glanced back, Tu Shuhan hurriedly went to the side hall without looking back.

When our group left the hall, we walked back along the corridor where we came, since Tu Shuhan even arranged the two of us to take a bath so close, I think the guest rooms should be next to each other.

I walked a step or two ahead, still thinking about every word at the banquet just now, whether it was possible to persuade Tu Shuhan again, or whether he had revealed any information to us, and just as I was thinking, I heard a strange noise behind me.

Looking back, Liu Qinghan was frowning, and when he saw me looking back at him, he immediately stretched out a hand to cover his neck.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine."

I looked at him again and said, "Is it a wine rash?" ”

Seeing that I said this, he no longer concealed it, and put down his hand around his neck, and by the moonlight, I immediately saw a large red rash there, and some places had been scratched by him so red and swollen that the skin was almost broken.

I sighed.

In the past, I knew that he would have a wine rash after drinking, and today, he must have caught a cold when he was bathing, and he was poured wine like Tu Shuhan with soft grinding and hard foaming, so naturally the situation would be even worse.

He seemed to be very uncomfortable, shrunk his neck, and finally couldn't help but reach out to scratch it again, I hurriedly removed his hand, and said lightly: "Don't scratch, it will be more uncomfortable if you scratch it." I'll let them send you some cool medicine later. ”

"No need." He frowned: "More is better than less." ”

After speaking, he gently rubbed his neck with his collar, then looked at the front and said, "Let's go." ”

I was speechless and could only follow. After a while, he arrived outside the guest room prepared by Tu Shuhan, he entered the door, nodded and said goodnight to me and then closed the door, I watched the lights flickering inside, casting his shadow on the window, as if he was still grinding his neck uncomfortably, and the maid had already walked to the door next to him, pushed it open, and said respectfully: "Distinguished guest, please rest." ”

I walked in, thought about it, and said, "You have cool medicine here, right?" ”

"Yes. Do you want to use it, madame? ”

"Well, send me some."

"Yes. The slave and maid went to do it immediately. ”

When the maid had finished speaking, she turned and went down, and I closed the door and sat at the table for a while, and she brought me a small bottle of analgesic and itch-relieving medicine.

I took the little bottle, but I hesitated again.

Of course, I know that Liu Qinghan has always doubted my identity, and he is also trying to distance himself from me, whether it is the unique reserve of people in officialdom, or the sensitivity that any person with amnesia will have, I know that he has always regarded me as the opposite party.

And I also know very well that it is impossible for me and him to go back to the past.

Impossible......

Looking down at the small bottle in the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I know I can't go back, so why are I hesitating now?

In Ah Lan's words, "It's enough for a woman to hum and chirp in front of a man", and now I'm alone, who is such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law?

It's just a bottle of medicine for him.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and got up and pushed the door open.

But as soon as I pushed the door open, I heard a "squeak" next to me, and Liu Qinghan's door was being pushed open.
