The people were dismissed, and only Liu Chen's uncle Ziming and Liu Shouye were left in the garden. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After hesitating for a long time, facing Liu Chen's eager gaze, Liu Shouye smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "The king's trust, Shouye is deeply pleased, it's just ...... Since Shouye participated in the Qionglin Banquet, he has never tried to become a leader...... Not to mention the governance of a city and a place, even at home, I don't dare to say that I am good at business......"

Since the death of Bao Dingguo, Liu Shouye's whole spirit has also weakened a lot, especially Bao Dingguo's question before his death, every night in silence, Liu Shouye will be silent and unable to sleep.

At that time, the Wancheng chaos war, from beginning to end, Bao Dingguo made Liu Chen stunned, and there was no emotion of blaming Liu Shouye in his heart at all, until the moment he closed his eyes, Liu Shouye was in his heart, and he was also a good brother and friend...... Regarding Liu Shouye's design and framing, Bao Dingguo's mind only left deep doubts and grievances.

"Duke Liu, this king will tell the truth......" Liu Chen sighed lightly, frowned and said: "For Wancheng, you have indeed paid too much, these are all in our eyes, this king also believes that the teachings of the Holy Venerable have never been erased from your heart, about making you the governor of the three cities, this is the result of a long consultation between the king and the staff, first of all, the benevolence of Liu Gong of Wancheng, no one knows about the three cities of Youbei, with you, Youbei will not be chaotic...... Secondly, for the understanding of the three cities, today's Youbei is no one who can beat Liu Gong...... Finally, it can be regarded as a small selfishness of this king, for Liu Gong, this king is deeply sorry, so, please don't make any more excuses......"

"The King's ......"

Without giving Liu Shouye a chance to discuss, Liu Chen chuckled, got up and left the garden.

......

Seven days later, it was cloudy and clear.

Li Wenguang's agreed day has arrived, before that, on the entire Meiling Plain, countless eyes were focused on Guicheng, especially the senior generals of the Canglan Legion, if they can speed up the matter of Guicheng, recover the northern border of Youzhou, and reach Cangshan and Erhai, then it will be the best time for them to show their strength!

Wancheng, the city lord's mansion.

After the morning exercise, Liu Chen wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, and faced the breakfast prepared in the kitchen, unexpectedly, today's King Canglan did not have the slightest appetite, so he stood alone on the front lawn of the flower hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and Liu Chen's mood involuntarily began to be messy.

"The king......" The soldiers of the Tianji Pavilion who came over from the shift stood in the distance and hesitated for a long time, and then cautiously moved to Liu Chen's side, and called softly: "Is it that the meal prepared in the back kitchen is not appetizing, otherwise, humble and bring a new one to the king?"

"No need!" Opening his closed eyes, Liu Chen twisted his eyebrows, and said irritably: "Archie, what is the movement over there in Guicheng?"

The inexplicable emotions made Liu Chen's heart unstable for a while, and he couldn't figure out what was going on today, and after thinking about it for a long time, they didn't find out what they missed today, but the more this happened, the more panicked he became, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

The pro-soldier general of "Guicheng ......" who was called Archie had just raised his head, and before he could ask Liu Chen's question, he unexpectedly a loud sound suddenly erupted in the sky behind him......

"Whoosh!"

"It's a signal flare from His Royal Highness...... King, Guicheng is decided......"

Looking at the sparks that pierced the sky, Liu Chen's mood was not a little better, and not long after, the smoke billowing in the distance echoed, almost dyeing the entire sky into gray.

......

Hitting the horse and coming to the hillside south of Guicheng, Uncle Ban Ziming and the newly promoted governor of the three cities, Liu Shouye, were already waiting for Liu Chen.

"My lord, the granary in the city is on fire...... I never expected that all the grain and grass in Guicheng would be piled up at the gate of Nancheng, no wonder we couldn't find ......"

Uncle Ban took the reins handed by Liu Chen with a smile, and after handing over the star-chasing horse to his own soldiers, he took a few steps closer to Liu Chen, arched his hand and chuckled: "Congratulations to the king, the recovery of Guicheng is close at hand!"

"Hmm......" nodded noncommittally, Liu Chen ignored anyone, walked to the edge of the small slope by himself, and stared at the direction of Guicheng stunned.

"What's the situation?" Seeing Liu Chen's description, Uncle Ban frowned, first secretly exchanged a look with Liu Shouye, and then pulled Liu Chen's personal soldier Archie, lowered his voice and asked, "Who made the prince angry?"

"Lord General Staff, Lord Governor......" Arching his hand at Uncle Ban Ziming and Liu Shouye who were staring at him with a bitter face, Archie said helplessly: "This morning, the king is like this, and he hasn't eaten breakfast...... Humble ...... I don't know what's going on!"

I could vaguely hear the crying from inside Guicheng, Uncle Ban Ziming pondered for a while, walked to Liu Chen's side, and asked softly: "King, but you are sick?"

Shaking his head in response, Liu Chen turned his face and smiled a little reluctantly, "Ziming, it's not very comfortable in my lonely heart, you let me be alone and quiet......"

"Okay!" Glancing at Liu Chen with a meaningful look, Uncle Ban Ziming sighed and said again: "It's just that when the fire broke out in the city, Liu Du and I raised the issue of the disposal of the military and civilians in Guicheng......

"Hmph!" very impatiently interrupted Uncle Ban Ziming's continuation, Liu Chen frowned, and said angrily: "He doesn't understand, don't you understand either? How many times do you have to say it alone? Guicheng is the first battle of our army, don't take prisoners alone!"

"But ......"

"It's nothing!" A loud shout made everyone on the hillside of this small hill lose their voices, each lowered their heads, and did not dare to look at the willow dust again, the current Canglan King, that face was already so gloomy that it was almost dripping, "I know what you are thinking, remember, you are literati, Lone is a martial man, you don't understand your so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality, Lone only knows, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die...... If you really want to save the 'innocent' people, you can ...... Please, God, if God can give Lone a reason not to kill them......"

"Report!"

Originally, Liu Chen's voice was loud enough, but now, a louder voice than him came from a distance, and he turned around angrily, and Liu Chen suddenly saw that in the forest path in the distance, a messenger riding a dusty messenger rode through the camp of the Canglan Legion, and ran straight in the direction of the Chinese army......

"Eight hundred miles expedited...... The idlers are gone!"

Immediately, the knight's voice was hoarse, almost crazy, and fell into Liu Chen's eyes, which made him tremble violently, and his mind went blank......

"Chang'an urgently reported, Your Majesty is critically ill, and the king of Canglan hurried back to Beijing to stabilize the situation......"

"Poof...... staggered in front of Liu Chen, and the messenger spurted out a mouthful of blood, instantly staining the grass on the hillside, "The king...... His Majesty is critically ill...... Please hurry back to Beijing...... Preside over the big picture!"

"What did you say?" word by word, Liu Chen's eyes widened, and the voice seemed to have drained all his strength.

The Imperial Doctor said...... Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... It's only half a month...... Woowoowoo......"

Crawling at the feet of Liu Chen, the messenger was already wailing until he fainted......

The wind and thunder suddenly rose, and the grass slopes were silent. (To be continued.) )
