Chapter 542: Inseparable

No one can really say clearly about fate, the pair of hostas are separated today, and they may be reunited tomorrow. Guan Yu's heart moved, and he patted the case and said: "Mr. Song is right, we are all martial artists, don't learn from those mothers-in-law." Qin Yi, this pair of hostas, you and I have one each, and we will accept it. ”

After intersecting with Shopkeeper Song for these days, Qin Yi has gained a lot of benefits. However, people's greed is often endless, for this hosta, Qin Yi liked it from the first sight, but because Guan Yu was in front of him, it was not easy to show it. Hearing Guan Yu say this, Qin Yi still had any hesitation, and immediately stepped forward to take a hosta, arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order!" Thank you, General Guan, and thank you, Mr. Song. ”

Cao Hui sat in front of the window, looking at the bronze mirror in front of her. The story of Guan Yu's resistance to Cao Cao's army has long been widely spread in Xuzhou, and for a young girl like Cao Hui, Guan Yu is the hero in her mind. Now, she finally got her wish and married Guan Yu as his wife. However, Guan Yu was busy with official duties all day long, and she didn't even come to her house to rest at night, so she stayed alone in the empty room all night long, and only she knew the taste in her heart.

Suddenly, a large hand landed lightly on her shoulder. When Cao Hui turned her head to look, it was Guan Yu, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Husband, you're back." ”

Guan Yu looked at the beautiful shadow in the bronze mirror, and also felt that he had gone too far. Although Guan Yu was not satisfied with this family business, Cao Hui was his wife after all, so he couldn't help nodding and said, "My husband is busy with official business on weekdays, but he has snubbed you." I waited for a good thing today, come, and insert it for your husband. ”

Cao Hui wanted to stand up, but was held down by Guan Yu, and in the bronze mirror, there was already a white hosta on the high cloud temples.

Guan Yuyuan opened his pair of Danfeng eyes, staring at the bronze mirror without blinking, but what came to mind was the beautiful shadow after Du Xiuniang inserted the hosta, and muttered in his mouth: "How is it, do you like it?" ”

I don't know if this sentence is for Cao Hui or for Du Xiuniang, who is hundreds of miles away, anyway, only he knows it in his heart.

Cao Hui has suffered from Guan Yu's neglect these days, and now she suddenly received a gift from him, she couldn't help but be happy, and when she saw the hosta clearly, a trace of worry appeared on her face.

The Cao family is also a famous family in Xuzhou, Cao Hui has heard and seen since childhood, and is also quite knowledgeable, and can see at a glance that this hosta has an extraordinary origin, and it is definitely not an ordinary person's item. Jade has a special significance in this era, most of the jade has been made into ceremonial vessels, and the jade is processed into women's ornaments is even rarer, like this hosta, non-marquise above the identity can not be worn.

Guan Yu, who came back to his senses, had already noticed the look on Cao Hui's face, patted her shaved shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a hosta?" There's nothing to worry about, other women wear it, and my Guan Yu's woman wears it even more! ”

The next day, Qin Yi was driven back to Xuzhou, but the shopkeeper Song was left in Guangling by Guan Yu. With the "help" of the Song shopkeeper, the grain shortage in Guangling has been alleviated to a great extent. And the Song shopkeeper also has many privileges, he can freely enter and exit the granary, military camp, Taishou Mansion and other important places in Guangling, and can even open the city gate of Guangling at night. For the shopkeeper Song, Guan Yu has already given him absolute trust.

Wu County, the seat of Wu County, is the Gusu City of later generations, which is said to have been built by Wu Zixu. There is a manor on the shore of Taihu Lake outside the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, it used to be Yan Baihu's summer retreat, and now Liu Xin and his party live here temporarily.

When the sun jumped out of the horizon, Liu Xin also finished practicing, took a towel from Lanier's hand, wiped the sweat on his face, and said, "The weather is good today, go to the back and invite the Seventh Lady over, let's go to Taihu Lake." ”

Liu Xin had just changed her clothes, but when she saw Lanier walking over alone, she couldn't help but wonder: "What about the Seventh Ladies?" Why hasn't it come out yet. ”

Lanier hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the master, the seventh lady said that from today onwards, she will not accompany the master out of this Zhuangzi, and ask the master to take official affairs first." ”

During this time, Liu Xin except for occasionally checking the resettlement of the people in Xuzhou, most of the time he took Minchan, or went out to the suburbs, or boated on Taihu Lake, and spent more than a month leisurely. Minchan clearly remembered that when Liu Xin left Xiangyang, he said that he was going to Jiangnan on business. But Liu Xin's current situation makes Minchan very worried, she feels that Liu Xin is infatuated by her beauty. Minchan doesn't want to become a "disaster water" like Yuxi and Daji, this idea has been buried in her heart for many days, and today she finally said it euphemistically.

Minchan was able to persuade him to work at ease, which made Liu Xin both surprised and very happy, and couldn't help laughing and saying, "Okay, just listen to Madame, I won't go out today." Laniel, go and ask Mr. Fu and General Xu to come over. ”

Because various detailed systems and procedures have been formulated in the military and political aspects, even if Liu Xin lives in the manor all day long, it will not affect the normal operation of the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. What's more, there are also Mi Zhu, Yu Tuo, Zhang He, Gan Ning, Zhang Liao and other civil and military personnel who perform their duties, and there is no need for Liu Xin to work at all.

Now, the refugees have all been resettled, tea and mulberry trees have been planted on a large scale, and patches of wasteland have been reclaimed. Although it is still spring and the fields are still growing rape and wheat, agricultural technicians from the Xiangyang Research Institute have begun to teach these people who have fled from the north how to plant rice, so that when it comes to summer sowing, they will not miss the agricultural season due to technical problems.

On the vast surface of Taihu Lake, the navy practiced day and night, and the shouts of the soldiers could be clearly heard standing in the manor. The 3rd and 4th Army Corps, stationed in the three counties of Jiangnan, on the one hand helped to resettle the refugees and maintain order, and on the other hand, they were also stepping up their training and were ready to fight at any time.

On the surface, Liu Xin is touring the mountains and rivers every day, but in fact, he is always paying attention to the news of Xuzhou and Guangling, because a great opportunity is in front of him, and in order to firmly seize this opportunity, he does not hesitate to overturn all the original plans.

In history, Cao Cao invited Guan Yu to drink wine and eat meat for three days, and sent money and beautiful women, and finally even gave Guan Yu a red rabbit horse, but he was not able to entrap him. Later generations believed that it was because Guan Yu was loyal and righteous, and the brotherhood between him and Liu Bei was deep. But Liu Xin now has a new view, the reason why Guan Yu abandoned Cao Cao was because Cao Cao snatched love with a knife and snatched away Guan Yu's favorite woman.

Now, the person who snatched love with a knife was actually replaced by Guan Yu's brother-in-law Liu Bei. Liu Bei's joke was a bit big, he thought he was hiding it seamlessly, but he didn't know that Guan Yu knew everything. Guan Yu is not only a problem of distrust for Liu Bei because of Du Xiuniang's matter, but also has a lot of resentment, the reason why it has developed to this extent, the hosta of Song's shopkeeper has played a great role.

Since Cao Hui put on that hosta, the number of times Guan Yu has intercourse with her has increased significantly. Every time Guan Yu saw the hosta, he would think of Du Xiuniang, and then the scene of Liu Bei riding on Du Xiuniang would appear in his mind. Of course, this scene is conjecture and fiction of Guan Yu, but the feeling is so real and strong. At this time, Guan Yu's movements would be extremely violent. However, Cao Hui likes it.

As such scenes appeared more and more times in Guan Yu's mind, Guan Yu's resentment towards Liu Bei deepened, and he even expressed his dissatisfaction with the eldest brother he once respected very much in front of the shopkeeper Song.

The reason for this situation is that Liu Xin has also secretly analyzed. In history, the time when Guan Yu was forced to surrender to Cao Cao should be seven or eight years away from now, and in these seven or eight years, the three brothers Liu Guanzhang were born and died, and established a deep friendship, that is to say, the friendship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei has not yet reached that level. What's more important is that because of the lack of Zhang Fei, a person with a temperament, although Guan Yu and Liu Bei also became brothers with different surnames, they lacked the consciousness and oath of "I don't want to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but I wish to be born in the same year and month with **".

Shopkeeper Song is now more convenient to pass on the news, he can freely travel back and forth between the north and south of the river, and in the past month or so, he has even personally reported to Liu Xinyu twice. Therefore, Liu Xin is even clearer about Guan Yu's current situation than himself, and of course, Fu Yu is also clear. However, Xu Chu didn't know about these situations.

Xu Chu stayed in the manor all day long, no one practiced martial arts with him, and he couldn't get involved in the training of the two major legions and the navy.

Lanier had already told him just now that Liu Xin was ready to deal with official business, so when Xu Chu stepped into the hall, he was obviously a little excited, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, is there a war to be fought, this time you have to get a pioneer for me!" ”

Xu Chu and Dian Wei are the left and right commanders of the Flying Tiger guards, and they rarely have the opportunity to go into battle, this time he went to Jiangnan with Liu Xin, and he also knew Liu Xin's plan in advance, so he always geared up, whether it was to fight Liu Xuan or Jiaozhou, he had to ask for an errand and have a good life.

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing and asked, "Zhongkang, how is your martial arts compared to Zilong and Han Sheng?" ”

Xu Chu grinned and said, "What is the eldest brother asking for?" ”

Fu Zhu already understood, and said with a smile: "General Xu, if the lord asks you, you just say it, the lord has his own deep meaning." ”

Since Tai Shici's submission, Liu Miao has no more good generals, and Jiaozhou is not worth mentioning. Hearing Liu Xin suddenly ask about Xu Chu's martial arts, Fu Zhu already understood that Liu Xin must want to use troops against Xuzhou, but he was afraid of Guan Yu's strength, and this was also what he was worried about.

In the past, Xu Chu often competed with Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang Fei in martial arts, and they were very familiar with each other. However, Fu Zhu had already said that Liu Xin did not ask casually, but had another deep meaning, Xu Chu did not dare to answer casually, he hurriedly lowered his head, thought carefully for a long time, and then said seriously: "Within three hundred rounds, it is difficult to distinguish between them." ”
