Chapter 69: Whoever wins
When it was close to noon, the banquet was over, but Zhong Tian seemed to be already drunk, lying on the table and just falling asleep.
"Someone, send General Zhong Tian back to his camp to rest." Sima Banru had also become a drunken eggplant, shook and shouted outside, and then, sitting on the chair with his butt back, his head tilted back, and he snored.
Hao Yi was slightly better, but his face was already flushed, and his words were not clear.
"I want General Zhong Tian to rest here for a while, and only after he sobers up can he be sent back, so as to avoid accidents on the road." Hao Yi commanded, supported by two warriors, to leave.
Wei Qing'er poked her head out from behind the curtain and took a look.
"Sister Duan'er, all three of you are drunk."
Duan'er hurriedly made a silent gesture to her, and then, slowly got up, walked to the table outside, and called softly "Master Hou".
Sima Banru and Zhong Tian did not move.
Wei Qing'er hesitated for a moment and patted Zhong Tian on the back with her hand.
Sure that the two of them were really drunk and unconscious, Duan'er let out a long breath and took Wei Qing'er's hand and walked back behind the curtain.
"Sister Duan'er is easy to say, the guard outside the big tent is very strict, how can the slaves and maids get out." Wei Qing'er knew what Duan'er was going to say to herself next, and muttered with a small mouth.
"Sister, don't worry, Your Majesty has already made arrangements." Duan'er whispered, and then, whispered something in Wei Qing'er's ear.
Outside the curtain, there was a dull sound, but it turned out that Sima Banru had slipped from the chair and sat on the ground, with a long liquid still flowing from the corner of his mouth.
Chengdu City, Imperial Palace, Jing'an Palace:
"Back to Your Majesty, Sima Banru and Duan'er and others were taken into Sima Yan's camp last night, and there has been no movement since then, the spies suspect that several people have been killed by Sima Yan, and ask Your Majesty to make arrangements as soon as possible." A eunuch-like figure stood at the bottom of the steps of the hall and said to Liu Yong.
Liu Yong had a smile on his face.
"You go back and tell the spies to keep a close watch, I have my own opinions."
The eunuch leaves.
Empress Zhang walked out from behind with a light lotus step.
"Duan'er and Qing'er are trapped in the tiger's mouth, once they lose, what will Your Majesty do?"
Liu Yong still had a smile on his face.
"Qi'er just rest assured, Sima Yan is not Sima Ban Confucian, he will never give people the truth, and in half a day, there will be news from Wei Ying."
"Your Majesty is so sure?" Empress Zhang still didn't believe it.
Liu Yong smiled and nodded.
"It's rare to have time today, can Qi'er be willing to accompany me to the Imperial Garden?"
Empress Zhang was slightly stunned.
Since Liu Yong replaced Liu Chan, he was busy dealing with the Cao Wei army outside the city all day long, it is rare to have such a mood, and now, although the capital has been recovered, many states and counties in Shu are still under the control of the Cao Wei army, not to mention that the enemy army outside the city has not retreated, it is also very rare to think about it.
"The concubines sit in the palace every day, just waiting for Your Majesty to have time, today is just right, the concubines are willing to visit with Your Majesty." Empress Zhang smiled and said.
"You don't need to be accompanied by palace people, as long as you and me." Liu Yong added.
Empress Zhang's face was slightly flushed.
The materials that were originally piled up in the harem were scattered to all corners of the city after Sima Banru and Duan'er and others fled, and Liu Yong did this for security reasons, and it must be the lifeblood of the people and the three armies in the entire capital for a long time in the future.
The scenery in the Imperial Garden seems to be particularly beautiful today.
Disconnected rockeries, rippling lotus ponds, occasionally one or two small trees full of brightly colored fruits, pavilions of different shapes, and more of them are those spitting fragrant flowers.
"The imperial garden in the palace is still so fascinating, how magnificent should my Han family be?" Liu Yong sighed, "Thinking about the past, the first emperor was dedicated to helping Han Xingliu Liu, but the middle way collapsed, and his ambitions were not rewarded. My royal brother has a soft personality and no ambitions, and everything depends on Kong Ming. Now, although I am the lord of this Shu Han, I have internal and external troubles, and I have no leisure for a day. When will I recover the great territory of my Shu Han, then I should drink with Qi'er here to comfort my life's wishes. ”
Liu Yong's words made Empress Zhang's heart keep pounding on her chest.
"Your Majesty worries about state affairs all day long, and the concubines hate to help each other, if there is a day to recover my territory, the concubines will definitely accompany Your Majesty not to get drunk and not return."
The hands of the two men were clasped together.
There is a breeze blowing, and the whole garden is filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits......
Two hearts that have long admired each other are close together.
However, the two did not make any further moves, and Liu Yong wanted to save this best time for the moment when he said he had regained his territory.
When the night came, the two were still sitting together, and although they no longer spoke, they still lingered on each other in this incomparably nostalgic every second.
The sound of hurried footsteps disturbed the wonderful tranquility of the garden.
Satsuki ran over.
"Your Majesty, the samurai outside the palace said that there is an urgent military situation to return."
Liu Yong was shocked and jumped up from his chair.
"Shame Moon serves Niangniang, I will go to see the visitor immediately."
Outside the gate of Jing'an Palace, a samurai was waiting anxiously.
"Your Majesty, General Dong Qi has already mixed into the Cao Wei military camp according to His Majesty's orders, but there is no response at such a time, and the villain is afraid that something will change, so he has come to reply to His Majesty."
Liu Yong's brows frowned slightly.
Dong Qi was sent by himself to ask for news from Duan'er, because he had personally let go of Sima Banru, and he infiltrated the enemy camp, even if he was caught, he would have to be helped by Sima Banru and others, but if something really happened, the consequences would be very serious, and at that time, he was afraid that not only would he lose Duan'er and Wei Qing'er, but also the failure of the entire plan.
"Keep inquiring, and no action can be done without my will."
"Yes." The samurai left.
Outside the city, Cao Wei's camp:
Dong Qi had just walked in the clothes of Cao Wei's pawn when he was stopped by a samurai who was patrolling the camp.
"The villain is General Zhong Tian's personal entourage, and he was ordered to go to the city to inquire about the news, and the general cannot stop him." Dong Qi said.
The man looked at Dong Qi for a moment, and suddenly smiled.
"General Zhong Tian is drunk and hasn't woken up, and now he hasn't returned from the big tent of the Marquis of Yicheng, do you dare to deceive General Ben?"
Dong Qi was stunned.
"In that case, the general can take me to the Yicheng Hou Tent to meet General Zhong Tian."
"Yicheng Hou's big tent is not something you and other villains can enter." The man said, waving his big hand, "Someone, escort this person to General Zhong Tian's tent and wait for the general's return." ”
Dong Qi was anxious, he originally thought that after entering the camp, he could quickly find the residence of Sima Banru and others, so as to get in touch with Duan'er and others, but he didn't want to have twists and turns, how could Zhong Tian be a good deceitful?
Following the samurai's orders, the two camp-seeking soldiers couldn't help but say something and pulled Dong Qi forward one from one left to the other.
Sima Banru's Great Tent:
Zhong Tian really just woke up, and his face was still red from drunkenness.
"The general fell asleep for a whole afternoon, and the slave and maid were by his side, and even his legs were weak." Wei Qing'er saw Zhong Tian wake up and complained half-truthfully.
Zhong Tian glanced around, as if he had just remembered his drunkenness, suddenly laughed, stretched out one arm, and grabbed Wei Qing'er's little hand on the table.
