Liu Xun slowly pulled out his sword, turned to look at the old man, and when he saw the old man cowering into a ball, Liu Xun's heart jumped suddenly.

The person in front of him is an innocent person no matter what.

The blade of the sword was slowly pulled out, and finally broke free from the shackles of the scabbard, Liu Zhang, Fu Shou, and Zhang Ren all stared at Liu Xun, and Zhou Budo at the door all raised their heads to look at Liu Xun.

"Ahh

Liu Xun slashed at the old man with a sword, with a "clang", but it did not cut on the old man, the long sword fell heavily to the ground, Liu Xun's tears finally couldn't hold back, the scabbard fell to the ground, and he ran out of the lobby at once.

Zhou Budo followed out.

Listening to Liu Xun's footsteps running out, Liu Zhang's fist on the table kept shaking, Fu Shou looked at Liu Zhang, whose face was sinking like water, from the side, and said softly: "Shu Hou, in fact, Fu Shou feels that Shu Hou is making Gongzi repeat the mistakes of the past......"

"Ah~~~"

Before Fu Shou finished speaking, Liu Zhang suddenly shouted with all his might, swept all the pen holders, pen and ink books on the table on the ground, and there was a "crackling" sound on the ground, and the expression on his face was blue and terrifying.

Fu Shou only felt trembling, his little face turned white, he forgot his identity as the queen, and knelt down suddenly: "Shu Hou forgives the sin, Fu Shou shouldn't talk like this......"

Fu Shou suddenly realized that he was the queen, no matter how powerful Liu Zhang was, he was still a courtier of the Han Dynasty in terms of status, even if he said the wrong thing, there was no reason to kneel, and he was stunned for a moment.

Fu Shoudu knelt down, knowing that kneeling was wrong, but when he got up like this, he always felt that it was inappropriate.

Zhang Ren was also frightened by Liu Zhang's appearance, and the moment Fu Shou knelt down. Watching this scene in amazement.

Liu Zhang looked at Fu Shou in surprise. I don't know if I should help me up. How to help up, if you are like an ordinary minister, the queen kneels, no matter what the reason, she should kneel down to relieve the embarrassment of the queen, but Liu Zhang obviously will not do this.

The first is that he is still angry, and the second is that he does not have the consciousness to kneel.

The atmosphere in the hall froze suddenly.

"Zhang Ren. You go out, spend a day preparing 5,000 elite soldiers, and the day after tomorrow I will go out of the Central Plains in person. Liu Zhang said casually.

"The lord wants to levy it in person?"

"What can I do in Chang'an?"

"Yes." Zhang Ren was stunned for a moment, replied loudly, and felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he turned around and retreated.

There are Liu Zhang and Fu Shou left in the hall, and one can be used as air, so it won't be so embarrassing.

"Queen Mother, it's not because of your words, Liu Zhang is just not in a good mood. Somewhat grumpy. ”

Liu Zhang looked straight ahead and talked, but did not look at Fu Shou. As if no one saw him kneel down without his eyes falling on him, Fu Shou calmed down and stood up.

Because of Fu Shou's kneeling just now, Liu Zhang's anger eased a lot, and at the moment when he knocked over the items on the table just now, Liu Zhang still felt a headache welling up, and at this time he just felt a faint pain and pressed lightly on his temples.

Fu Shou may have been accustomed to massaging Liu Zhang, and his heart was still calm in the embarrassing emotion of fear just now, and the jade finger had already been pressed.

"Queen, what did you just say? Repeat? ”

"I said it casually, don't take it to heart."

Even if she knew that Liu Zhang's personality would not lose her temper with herself, Fu Shou was still a little scared in her heart, she was indeed scared by Liu Zhang just now.

Hua Tuo said that Liu Zhang was not as irritable as Cao Cao, but Liu Zhang disdained to be angry when dealing with ordinary things, but Liu Zhang also had things he cared about in his heart, and when he touched these things, his anger was just as terrible.

Isn't that how hundreds of thousands of descendants of the clan were killed?

At this time, Fu Shou was even more convinced that the person in front of him, just like Hua Tuo said and what he felt before, was the real king, even if he was the queen, when he massaged Liu Zhang like a concubine, he didn't have any psychological obstacles, as if he should take it for granted.

"Concubine." Fu Shou's heart skipped a beat.

"Repeat the mistakes of the past." Liu Zhang didn't know what Fu Shou was thinking, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to it, he thought of Fu Shou's words.

Liu Xun is pure and good-natured, if he forces him to kill people and force him to slaughter these thousands of clans, what is the difference between him and the clans that were massacrated in Jiangzhou at the beginning?

If Liu Xun also leaves a shadow in his heart, is it really good?

However, now is a troubled time, how can a person who does not dare to implicate the innocent and blindly sympathize survive in the troubled times? In any case, Liu Zhang still hopes that Liu Xun will become more decisive and aggressive.

Liu Xun cried when he returned to his room, and Zhou Budo walked in.

"Don't doubt my brother, am I really wrong? I made my father angry, isn't it unfilial? But I really can't do it, what should I do? What to do? ”

Liu Xun can still think of the old man in the lobby, no matter how you look at it, he is not a big traitor, he is very honest, he is afraid of losing his life, and like ordinary people, if he wants to kill such a person by himself, Liu Xun really can't do it.

"Childe, if that old man is replaced by the head of the Yang family, do you dare to kill him?" Zhou Budo asked lightly. In the past, Zhou Budo called Liu Xun Xun'er, but now Liu Xun has begun to take charge of things, and he has also become an official of sesame mung beans, so he is called Gongzi.

It's not that Zhou Budo cares about etiquette, it's just that at this time, he wants to maintain Liu Xun's authority.

"Dare, I don't like it, but I ......"

"That's enough." Zhou Budo interrupted Liu Xun's words: "Childe is not wrong. ”

But my father didn't like it...... Don't doubt my brother, you taught me everything, why did you never teach me to kill someone who shouldn't have killed but had to kill? ”

Liu Xun was not stupid and asked this doubt. What Zhou Budo taught himself was all for the best, but what his father cared about the most, Zhou Budo never seemed to have taught him.

Even Zhou Budo told him to decisively kill the people who should be killed, but try not to kill those who shouldn't be killed, and there was never the concept of "you shouldn't kill but have to kill" in Zhou Budo's words.

"Childe, you just need to remember that you are right, and that's it."

After Zhou Budo finished speaking, he moved a handful of official documents, and he was about to deal with so many things, and Liu Xun was too busy to do it. He wanted to work with Liu Xun overnight to make a plan for the recovery of Guanzhong.

"Am I officially joining the Sichuan Army?"

Fourteen-year-old Zhou Budo smiled. Five years ago, I didn't believe that Liu Zhang could hold out for two years. I didn't expect that five years later, I would still walk with him, still in this way.

But is it really good for you to serve the Sichuan Army? Zhou does not question himself.

Zhou Budo has always been a self-aware person, he knows what his character is, he has no dignity or humility, he has nothing to say, and he has no scruples.

And the most important thing is that it's okay if you don't join the Sichuan army. Once it is put into effect, as long as you feel that it is right, you will definitely stick to it, just like Liu Xun's character education.

It is impossible for such a character to last long.

Even if there was no prediction of his early death, Zhou Budo could feel that his fate in the Sichuan army would not be too good.

When Liu Zhang appointed Zhou Budo to be Liu Xun's companion, when Liu Xun was recruited to Chang'an to accompany him this time, Zhou Budo thought about refusing, maybe he would live a little longer.

But I looked at the side and wiped away my tears and held back all my sadness. Liu Xun, who was serious about writing the booklet, Zhou Budo sighed in his heart: "Whatever." Let's do what is in front of you first. ”

…………

All political affairs are handed over to Liu Xun, Liu Zhang is finally relaxed, unprecedentedly easy, even if he goes out to the Central Plains tomorrow, it is just following Huang Yueying's army to watch the flowers, Liu Zhang has no other meaning, he has been thinking about the Central Plains for a few years, and now that the Sichuan army is finally out of the customs, he will not regret it if he takes a look.

Liu Zhang and Fu Shou walked out of the palace, and horse-drawn carriages drove through the streets of Chang'an, lined with soldiers and government craftsmen repairing abandoned houses.

The streets are full of displaced people guided by soldiers, and it seems that Liu Xun has issued an order for soldiers to lead the displaced people outside the city into the city, and fill Chang'an City first.

In order not to attract the attention of the people, Liu Zhang did not bring a personal team, only brought a powerful person, Liu Zhang believed that as long as a powerful person was around, even if a master like Zhao Yun came to a few, he might not be able to kill himself.

Liu Zhangfushou got out of the carriage and climbed the Chang'an city wall to overlook Chang'an City.

Fu Shou has lived in Chang'an for five or six years, but it is the first time that he has walked out of the Chang'an Palace so easily, and he has carefully looked at the surrounding scenery, but it is shocking.

The unclothed people, the ruined walls, the cobweb-covered dwellings.

It is really dilapidated, in addition to the scale of the city, the height of the city wall in the entire Chang'an is far more than that of other cities, and the degree of prosperity is not even as good as Jiangzhou.

The two-hundred-year-old imperial capital of the Han Dynasty has become like this, and as the queen of the Han Dynasty, Fu Shou can't help but feel a little sad.

"War is a game for careerists, and careerists often stand up when social contradictions are most intensified, and win over forces that benefit themselves, or maintain orthodoxy, or resolve contradictions, but in the end it is the people who suffer."

Liu Zhang said slowly, and Fu Shou looked at him: "Is Shu Hou also a careerist?" ”

Liu Zhang was silent for a while, a little smile appeared on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it." ”

Fu Shou looked at Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's smile was lost, self-deprecating, and there was a taste that he couldn't figure out, Fu Shou suddenly asked: "Has Shu Hou ever wanted to be an emperor?" ”

After Fu Shou asked, he looked at Liu Zhang nervously, as if he didn't regret asking this sentence, but he was nervous about Liu Zhang's answer, speculating on various answers, and considering which answer, which tone would be true,

But Liu Zhang was silent all the time, looking at Chang'an City in front of him: "Queen Mother, you are good at Danqing, Liu Zhang wants to ask you for something." ”

Fu Shou was a little surprised, although Liu Zhang is just a courtier and he is the queen, but Liu Zhang has not said the word "ask" to himself, and Liu Zhang's attitude towards Fu Shou has always been nothing particularly respectful.

But this attitude is different from Cao Cao, Cao Cao is arrogant and domineering, Liu Zhang is like a stream flowing around him, although no matter whether he is here or not, the stream flows the same, but he can feel the coolness of the stream.

Fu Shou did not enjoy the treatment of the queen in the Sichuan army, but he was very comfortable, Fu Shou didn't know why he felt this way, maybe it was because of Liu Zhang, because he was standing next to Liu Zhang, whether Liu Zhang was walking in front of him, or standing by himself, Liu Zhang was sitting, it was so natural.

And Liu Zhang used the word "ask" for the first time, and Fu Shou also wondered if he had anything worth asking for Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang looked at the dilapidated scene in front of him, and said to Fu Shou: "The city of Chang'an, I'm afraid it has never been so dilapidated, I believe that under the governance of our Sichuan army, this place can regain prosperity."

However, Chang'an at this time is a scar that cannot be erased in the history of Chang'an, that is, the current scene, which can let people know the horror of war.

This is not the epitome of the entire Han Dynasty, except for Chang'an, there are too many cities in the world that have been reduced to ruins because of the war.

If prosperity is restored, it will all be drowned out by history, and when peace and prosperity come, people will forget it forever, numb, flashy, until the next war comes.

So I think the queen can draw all this, all the dilapidation, all the miserable conditions, the ruins, the collapsed roof tiles, the ragged people, all drawn, if the world returns to peace, when people see this picture of the broken mountains and rivers, they will never be able to forget the trauma of today. ”

"Mountains and rivers are broken?" Fu Shou was slightly stunned and nodded slightly.

Liu Zhang and Fu Shou got into the carriage and had already taken the brush, ink and brush, and when they saw where the theme of broken mountains and rivers was suitable, they drew them.

In fact, now the whole of Chang'an is suitable for this topic.

An arched bridge across the river, half of the one-meter masonry guardrail has been destroyed, and if the carriage goes downhill quickly, it can be planted in the river, some Sichuan soldiers are dredging the people, and some hired craftsmen are building temporary guardrails out of wooden planks.

Fu Shou painted on the easel 20 meters apart, carefully copying this scene, Liu Zhang and Fu Shou were both wearing civilian clothes, and the homeless people were pretending to be troubled and did not recognize them.

The sky was pouring rain.

It's already February, but the weather in Chang'an is still cold and abnormal, with snowflakes in the light rain, and the cold wind blows silently, like blowing an electric fan in winter, and every drop of rain is cold and cold on the body.

"Let's go back, it's raining." Liu Zhang said.

Once Fu Shou devotes himself to painting, he will forget many things, the pen sketches on the white paper, and he does not look at the arch bridge until he finishes a part, and says softly: "It's raining, these people are still walking in the rain, on such a cold day, the soldiers and craftsmen of the Sichuan army are still building bridges to guide the people, this is the real broken mountains and rivers, they are all in the rain, I can too." ”

After Fu Shou finished speaking, he continued to paint, adding rain and mist in the distance of the painting, outlining two strokes and suddenly stunned for a moment, he was so devoted, how could he forget that Shu Hou was behind him, and he was seriously ill.

"Shu Hou, Fu Shou is painting here first, Shu Hou will go back first." After Fu Shou finished speaking, he continued to draw.

The light rain wet the drawing paper, although this is only a draft of "Broken Mountains and Rivers", but Fu Shou does not want to lose the neatness, Fu Shou does not want to stop painting, is hesitating to get an umbrella, suddenly it seems that the rain is gone. (To be continued......)
