Shouchun, post station.

In a side room, the two sat opposite each other, Liu Yu looked at Wang Miaoyin, who was sitting opposite, her eyes were shining, staring at herself, but there was a trace of sadness and concern, her lips opened slightly, and a heavenly voice sounded in Liu Yu's ears: "Brother Liu, I, I really don't want to go back at this time, can you let me stay?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head and sighed: "No, it's not that I don't want you to stay here, but the Qin army is coming, Shouchun City may not be able to keep it, and it is really inappropriate for your daughters to stay in the city." ”

There were bursts of women and children crying outside the post station, and the sound of the wheels of the cart running over the bluestone slabs in the city was squeaky and hoarse, accompanied by the sound of some people shouting horses neighing and bells ringing, like bursts of waves, Wang Miaoyin's eyes became dim, lowered her head, and said softly: "Even if it is a woman, she can contribute to the country, Brother Liu, leave me, maybe I will help you." I'm not an ordinary woman after all. ”

Liu Yu said: "It is precisely because you are not an ordinary woman, but the granddaughter of the Wang family, the granddaughter of the Xie family, and your noble status, so you can't stay here." It's not your business alone, take into account your family. ”

Wang Miaoyin's eyes were swirling, and she stared at Liu Yu tightly: "Then, then you go with me, this time we came here for the marriage, and now that this matter is over, there is no reason for you to stay here." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "I'm different from you, your task is to bring Liu Tingyun to marry, it can be said that it is over, but my task is to do everything possible to defend Shouchun City, and this marriage is just a means to defend the city." Whether the marriage is successful or not, I want to stay here. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu stood up and looked out of the door: "Besides, at this time, as a man and a soldier, how can you leave the people in the city behind and leave?" Miaoyin, do you want me to be a deserter? ”

Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth, also stood up, and stood beside Liu Yu: "I am the granddaughter of the Wang Xie family, and I also want to contribute to the country, Brother Liu, you don't want to be a deserter, and I don't want to be either." Let me stay. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, turned around, and hugged Wang Miaoyin's fragrant shoulder: "Miaoyin, don't say more, the big war is coming, you will distract me, only when I have no distractions, can I fight with all my strength." You can rest assured, Xuan Shuai will not leave us alone, he will definitely send troops to rescue, General Hu's 5,000 soldiers and horses have already hit the road, and they will arrive soon, I am here, I can command the defense of the city, and greatly consume the Qin army. ”

Wang Miaoyin sighed, lowered her head, and said softly: "Okay, I promise you, I won't hinder your business, go back to Guangling, but, will Murong Nan stay?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, he has to stay and help me defend the city!" ”

Wang Miaoyin suddenly raised her head, and her voice unconsciously raised a few degrees: "What reason does he have to stay?" He brought cavalry, and you can't use it to defend the city. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Defending the city can't all be passively beaten, sometimes you have to take the initiative to attack, and you need war horses when you break through, and his two hundred people are very important to me." ”

Wang Miaoyin hooked the corners of her mouth, and she could see that her mood had become very low, and she sighed: "I really hope that I can also have his riding skills, so that I can stay with you." ”

Liu Yu smiled and hugged Wang Miaoyin into his arms, Yiren's head was tightly pressed against his chest, and the faint fragrance of orchids rushed straight to his nostrils, making him intoxicated. Liu Yu said softly: "No, Miaoyin, I won't let you go to the battlefield, you are the most precious gift from God to me Liu Yu, how can I be willing to let you take the slightest risk?" Murong Nan is my brother and my comrade-in-arms, but at most, he is like Ah Shou, and the relationship between them and you and me is still different. ”

Wang Miaoyin's pair of jade arms tightly wrapped around Liu Yu, and her voice revealed a burst of joy: "If you say so, I'm relieved." Liu Lang, you must cherish yourself, don't be reluctant, when you really can't do it, you should withdraw or you have to withdraw, you have to remember that Miaoyin is always waiting for you. ”

Liu Yu's heart was warm, and he was about to continue to make love with Yiren, but Wang Miaoyin in his arms suddenly stood up, pushed Liu Yu hard, turned around and left, her voice drilled into Liu Yu's ears: "Liu Lang, take care of yourself, Miaoyin is gone." ”

Liu Yu stood at the door in a daze, watching Wang Miaoyin's shadow get into an ordinary looking carriage, more than a dozen capable guards holding swords, walking on both sides, and this car, with the coachman's whip on the buttocks of the two horses in front, gradually started, mixed in the sea of people and cars out of the city, towards the direction of the east gate of the city.

Murong Nan's voice sounded softly in Liu Yu's ears: "Liu Yu, are you really relieved to let a person like Miss Wang go on the road?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "She is not alone, there are more than ten guards." ”

Murong Nan sighed and stood beside Liu Yu: "The soldiers are in chaos, so many people go out of the city together, relying only on a dozen guards, I'm afraid that if you really have to run into something, it will be difficult to protect it thoroughly." ”

Liu Yu turned his head to look at Murong Nan: "These are the Xie family's blood shadow guards, all of them are good hands, as long as they don't run into the Qin army's brigade, Miaoyin will be fine." ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "You don't seem to care too much about your future wife, if I were you, I would either leave Miss Wang in the city, or I would send more than two hundred cavalry to escort her back to Guangling." ”

Speaking of this, Murong Nan paused: "What's more, is it necessary for you to stay in Shouchun?" The marriage has failed, and the difference between defending the city and not defending it does not seem to me to be great. ”

Liu Yu shook his head: "Now that there are not enough troops in the city, it is good to have one more person, so this time only the women and children are old and weak to go out of the city, and Ding Zhuang must stay in the city to defend." If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to send Miaoyin back, I wouldn't be willing to let go of the more than ten Xie family's Blood Shadow Guards. ”

Murong Nan sighed: "I don't understand now, why do you insist on guarding this Shouchun City." The number of troops in the city plus the strong men is only 5,000, but the Qin State has hundreds of thousands of troops, and if they attack Shouchun regardless of casualties, they may not even be able to hold it for half a day. This is not your Beifu army, there is no tiger army, look at those untrained defenders, and the fear in the eyes of those strong men, Liu Yu, I'm afraid you are really wrong this time. ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and there was a confidence in his eyes: "Everything is expected, Brother Murong, let's discuss how to defend the city." ”
