Liu Zhang understood what Qu Lingchen meant, Qu Lingchen didn't let himself say that she was Xiao Furong's senior sister, just so that he could kill her without any scruples.

"Get out." Liu Zhang said to the soldiers.

"But......" Wang Xupestle remained in place.

Huang Yueying smiled faintly, walked to Qu Lingchen's side leisurely, and grabbed Qu Lingchen's left hand, everyone only heard Qu Lingchen's light "ah", the whole slender palm was raised painfully, fine sweat seeped out of the forehead, and the corners of everyone's eyes twitched, Huang Yueying waved her hand to the soldiers: "It's okay, go out." ”

Huang Yueying took Qu Lingchen's sword and walked out first, Wang Xu looked at Qu Lingchen who gritted his teeth, and then looked at Huang Yueying, who was casual, and said to the soldiers: "Go." ”

Only Liu Zhang and Qu Lingchen were left in the big tent, and there was another one who was so powerful, so powerful, he picked up the sledgehammer on the ground, knocked off the soil on it, and stood behind Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang helped Qu Lingchen to the side of the piano platform and sat down, his hand stroked Qu Lingchen's round shoulder, through the thin silk, you could feel Qu Lingchen's elastic skin, Qu Lingchen only paused, did not resist, the wrists of both hands hurt badly, so he could only put it on the piano platform, gritting his teeth gently, not letting himself call out.

"What else are you going to do? You said last time that Guiyang let me go once because I was ashamed of my Qu family, and the woods let me go once because of my junior sister, you don't have to have any scruples this time. ”

Liu Zhang sat next to Qu Lingchen and was silent for a long time, now everything has finally been sorted out, why did Qu Lingchen know himself that time in Guiyang, and why did Tang Yan on the so-called Yunmengze Island be so cold to himself, it turned out that they were alone.

"Miss Tang."

"My name is Qu Lingchen."

"Girl, do you remember what we said on Yunmengze Island? I wish you the best of luck as soon as possible, but I didn't expect this enemy to be me. ”

"I don't remember any Yun Mengze." Qu Lingchen said coldly.

"Huh." Liu Zhang smiled lonely, "Okay, I'm sorry for too many girls, the difficulties of the Qu family are caused by me, I can't deny it, the girl may have forgotten Yun Mengze, but Yun Mengze is very important to me, if it wasn't for what the girl said to me that time, I might still be living in confusion." ”

Huang Yueying didn't put down her heavy hands, except for the weakness in her wrist, it was not so painful, Qu Lingchen listened to Liu Zhang's words expressionlessly, and when she heard "Yun Mengze is very important to me", his expression changed.

"And Guiyang...... In short, the girl killed me, whether it was to avenge the family or to avenge herself, it was understandable, the first time for Qu Tian to release you, the second time for Rong'er to release you, this time, for my own sake, you go. ”

Qu Lingchen looked at Liu Zhang: "Liu Zhang, you are my enemy, even if you let me go a hundred times, I will not hesitate to kill you." ”

"Without hesitation?" Liu Zhang also looked at Qu Lingchen, his eyes were facing each other, Liu Zhang looked at Qu Lingchen's eyes and said, "Tang Yan, if you don't hesitate, why is the direction of the sword stab my chest, not my neck?" You know I'm wearing silk soft armor. ”

Clothes made of silk are originally flexible, a special silkworm spit silk produced in Nanzhong is even more flexible, the number of this silkworm is very small, and the silk is also small, but the soft armor made of intensive silk, unless it is a heavy kill weapon such as a hard crossbow or giant hammer, it is almost invulnerable, even if it is a sharp sword, as long as it is not a sharp weapon like a white jade sword, it can also delay the penetration of the sword, which is priceless.

Liu Zhang has been assassinated too many times, and Fa Zheng ordered to collect this kind of silk to make soft armor, and when he found out that Qu Lingchen had bad intentions, he let Liu Zhang wear it on his body from time to time, so when Qu Lingchen's sword stabbed him, he only used a sledgehammer to protect Liu Zhang's head.

It's not just the space that falls to the front of the neck, but it's so powerful that he doesn't intend to bend Ling Chen's sword at all.

Qu Lingchen's heart skipped a beat, she had been with Liu Zhang for so long, she did know that Liu Zhang was wearing soft armor, but why was she still piercing her chest at that time, instead of other vital parts? I didn't think about this layer at all, did I selectively forget?

Qu Lingchen didn't speak, Qu Lingchen only remembered that when she was assassinated, her brain was in a mess, and until now, she can't remember what she was thinking at that time.

"Miss Tang, let's go, I know that you will come to assassinate next time, if you meet it, I will definitely ...... Forget it, let's talk about it then. Liu Zhang originally wanted to say something cruel, but for some reason, when he knew that Qu Lingchen was the woman on Yunmengze Island, he could no longer be as decisive as he was in the woods last time.

At that time, there was no emotion, but now, Liu Zhang doesn't know if he will be ruthless to Qu Lingchen next time......

Qu Lingchen looked at the Liang Qin in front of him, and after a long time, he said slowly: "You still have ambitions that have not been realized, aren't you afraid of dying at the hands of Xiaoxiao like Jiangdong Sun Ce?" ”

Qu Lingchen suddenly felt that compared to Liu Zhang's righteousness, he could really only be regarded as a small child.

Liu Zhang smiled lonely: "The girl knows, even if I don't die at the hands of Xiaoxiao, I won't live for five years, I'm just doing my best, maybe in the end it will be a vain, in addition to the girl, there are countless people who want to take my life, and I won't necessarily save myself by killing the girl?" ”

Qu Lingchen was stunned, and then remembered what Huang Fuxuan had said to him, Liu Zhang can only live for less than five years, five years, do you still need to assassinate?

Qu Lingchen looked at Liang Qin, and was a little flustered for no reason, five years, it's really short, Huang Fuxuan said that Liu Zhang's illness can only prolong his life by playing the piano for him.

He is his enemy, but at this time, looking at the Liangqin in front of him, if it weren't for the weakness of his wrist, he really seemed to play a song for him.

"This person has great ambitions and great kindness, but unfortunately God is jealous of talents, I hope that when we meet in the future, I can still play a piano song for him."

What he said on Yunmengze Island, his state of mind at that time, after so many twists and turns, seemed to have returned to the original point.

"Can I take the Winding Beam Piano with me?" Qu Lingchen put aside all his thoughts, made himself stronger, and said in a cold voice.

"Yes."

Qu Lingchen stood up with the qin in his arms and walked out of the tent without looking back.

"Wait." Liu Zhang's voice came from behind.

Qu Lingchen smiled bitterly at the curtain cloth and turned around: "Do you regret letting me go?" ”

Liu Zhang stood up, walked in front of Qu Lingchen, spread out his palm, and a bright red ling's eyes suddenly came into view, and the brightness of the red ling, like blood.

Qu Lingchen remembered that this red ling was his uncle Qu Tian's beloved thing, I don't know what kind of dye it dyed, it will never fade, when he was very young, his uncle got him, he was overjoyed, and since then he has wrapped it around the sword, Qu Lingchen has been better with his uncle who is a few years older than himself since he was a child, although there are ten years apart, Qu Lingchen still remembers.

Qu Lingchen knew about the situation in Brazil, and his uncle Qu Tian did the Sichuan Army's internal response because of his aunt Huang Yue's request, because his grandfather didn't know, and he also kidnapped Huang Yue, which caused a big disaster.

Qu Lingchen looked at the bright Hongling, and suddenly his heart was sour, and a tear slipped down involuntarily, he wanted to be stronger in front of Liu Zhang, but he was still so uncompromising.

It's not that he doesn't feel the difficulties of the Qu family, he always remembers his mistakes, even if it was the Qu family who took hostages in the first place.

Qu Tian was the first hero of the Xichuan Meritorious Pavilion, and the writing on the spiritual throne did not tamper with what happened in Brazil in the slightest.

He is cruel and murderous, but he cares about the people, and everything he does is out of his heart, if there is a new king, let alone Qu Tian's spiritual position, I am afraid that he will try his best to cover up the affairs of Brazil and charge the Qu family a lot of crimes.

But he didn't, and he still kept this red ling.

Qu Lingchen heard that Liu Zhang had relapsed and fell unconscious because of the Qu family's old illness, and I am afraid that his current illness is also related to the Qu family.

If a king can do this, what resentment can he have?

No wonder his aunt and sister are willing to follow him, no wonder his younger brother Qu Xi can also forgive him?

"This person has great ambitions and great kindness, but unfortunately God is jealous of talents, I hope that when we meet in the future, I can still play a piano song for him."

Great ambition, great goodness, I didn't feel wrong at the beginning, but I just let hatred cover my eyes later, now that I think about it, the matter of the Qu family, in addition to the Qu family's own fault, can only be ruthless in troubled times, who can blame it?

Qu Lingchen looked at the bright red lings on Liu Zhang's hand, tears slowly slipped down, Liu Zhang stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Qu Lingchen's eyes, Qu Lingchen wanted to take Liu Zhang's hand away, I don't know if it was a wrist injury, or if he didn't have the strength at all, he didn't stop Liu Zhang's movements.

Liu Zhang pressed Hongling on Qu Lingchen's hand, put the tear-wiping bracelet on the back of Qu Lingchen's neck, and kissed Qu Lingchen's moist lips deeply.

With a slight touch of the four lips, Qu Lingchen was like being devoured by electricity, and his eyes widened to look at Liu Zhang, who was close at hand, but he didn't make a refusal move, and his brain was in chaos.

After a while, they slowly separated, Qu Lingchen stayed in place, holding the qin and holding Hongling, he was stunned for a while, and ran out of the big tent, Wang Xu hurriedly rushed in with his own soldiers, and saw that Liu Zhang was safe and sound, so he was slightly relieved.

Huang Yueying held Qu Lingchen's sword, watched Qu Lingchen run away with the qin, leaned against the tent door and smiled comfortably.

"Lord, the girl has also been deceived by you, we should talk about business."

Liu Zhang glared at Huang Yueying, "Go back to the house immediately and convene the generals to discuss the matter." ”

………… Qu Lingchen ran out of the tent area under the curious gaze of the refugees, and the refugees didn't know what happened to this "reincarnation of the fairy boy", and countless associations unfolded in everyone's minds.

Running to a deserted meadow, Qu Lingchen leaned against a tree with the piano in his arms, panting gently, just like Guiyang ran out of the Sichuan army camp at the beginning, but his mood was completely different, he only felt that his heart was about to jump out, and the feeling of his whole body was on his lips, and his mind was full of the scene of watching Liu Zhang kiss himself just now.

Wu Jun and Feng Ziyin walked over together, just like that day in Guiyang.

"Ling Chen, what's going on? Didn't it go well? Wu Jun looked at Qu Lingchen's appearance and said, Qu Lingchen's wrists on both hands were still blood-red, and the action of holding the qin tightly and panting lightly seemed to be very frightened.

Wu Jun probably guessed the result and sighed: "I didn't expect that I couldn't assassinate Liu Zhang's dog thief like this, but it's okay, it's good that people are alive, this time Liu Zhang slaughtered Xiangyang, the members of our alliance have increased greatly, and we still have a chance." ”

Feng Ziyin glanced at Qu Lingchen up and down, and said in a strange manner: "It's so fresh, you brought the piano back, and you lost the big chief's sword, you are really peculiar." ”

"Ziyin, don't say a word." ”

Qu Lingchen leaned against the tree and didn't hear what the two said clearly.

………… The big tent of the Shenwei Army, Fan Lixiang lay on the bed, she didn't know how to train soldiers, but now she has no authority, and she has nothing to do, don't be bored lying on the couch, and her heart is full of resentment towards Liu Zhang.

Fan Lixiang used a fan to stop a passing and collapsed cockroach, and wherever the cockroach ran, Fan Lixiang's fan was set up in which direction, and she was babbling to the cockroach in her mouth.

"Cockroach (cockroach alias), you and he are both surnamed Zhang, but only you understand my heart, come here to relieve my boredom, why do you say that your brother is so ignorant, I am obviously helping him, dedicated to his good, he doesn't appreciate it, and I admit the punishment.

But why did he take me to others to stand up, and beat and kill, that vicious look, is it so like a punching bag? Now, I thought that in a day and a half, he would come to see me and enlighten me, even if it was to say something high-sounding.

But he's fine, he ran out of town to see that vixen with bad intentions, how many times have people warned him, why didn't he listen, cockroach ......"

Fan Lixiang was full of grievances and said to the poor cockroach, and at this time, Chen Ying's voice outside sounded: "General, the lord has summoned the generals to discuss the matter." ”

Fan Lixiang said impatiently: "Now you are the commander of the Shenwei Army, I am just a soldier, you have to discuss matters by yourself." ”

Chen Ying said: "But the military advisor pointed out where you went." ”

"It's that woman again, I don't want to ...... You wait. Fan Lixiang whispered to the cockroaches on the ground: "Cockroaches, do you see, the woman who stepped on my head and climbed up came to call me again, if they all understood my heart like you, alas." ”

Fan Lixiang sighed, got up, and the little cockroach that was scurrying around in a panic finally found a way out, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran out.

………… The generals gathered in the lobby, Liu Zhang looked at Zhongwen and Wudao: "Now that the rebellion in Jingzhou has been pacified, the four rebellious armies, Chen Sheng, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, and Jiangdong have been destroyed one after another, and the great disaster in Jingzhou has been lifted, you can tell me, what should we do next?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "My lord, now our Sichuan army has been fighting for seven months, the soldiers are tired, after the two rivers burst the embankment for disaster relief, the granaries of Xiangyang and Jiangling are almost emptied, and now they can only rely on Jiangxia grain and grass to supply the army, which is also about to run out, although the rebellion is peaceful, the people's hearts are unstable, and the subordinates think that we should suspend the army to support the people, sort out the internal affairs, save for two to three years, and go out on the Northern Expedition." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Li Yan and other civil officials came out.

Liu Zhang looked at the ministers and turned to Huang Yueying and said, "Yueying, what do you mean?" ”

Huang Yueying said: "The subordinates agree with Mr. Fa's opinion, but the rest time is set at one year, and the decisive victory of Guandu should be in front of us, we will rest for half a year to a year, take advantage of this year's time, settle down the internal affairs, cultivate the soldiers, transfer the grain and grass from Yizhou to Xiangyang, and then go out to the Northern Expedition, which will be a great victory." ”

"Zhang Ren, what do you think?"

Zhang Ren stepped out of the ranks and said to Liu Zhang: "Tell the lord that the last general has recently rectified the soldiers, and found that many soldiers miss their hometown, and the last general also feels that they should stop the army and rest." ”

"The last general agrees with General Zhang's opinion." Yan Yan and a group of generals came out.

Liu Zhang glanced around at all the civil and military forces, it can really be said that the civil and military are united, and the sky is lucky.

Liu Zhang groaned for a while, and said slowly: "But we went out to crusade against Jingzhou, just to open the way to rescue the Son of Heaven, and now that Jingzhou has fallen, we ignore the Son of Heaven in Xuchang, and the world still thinks that I, Liu Zhang, are greedy for the territory of Jingzhou." ”

Huang Yueying said: "The lord doesn't have to worry, we don't cut down Xuchang, not because we don't want to rescue the Son of Heaven, on the contrary, we really want to rescue the Son of Heaven, but the two rivers burst the embankment, there are countless refugees, we opened a warehouse to release grain, and the grain has run out."

Zi said: 'The people are precious, the community is secondary', the monarch is light, we temporarily give up the Son of Heaven for the sake of the Han Li people, and our subordinates believe that the world will understand us. ”

Liu Zhang groaned again, and said after a long time: "However, I still think that we should go north to the Central Plains. ”

Huang Yueying bowed calmly: "Can the lord give a reason?" ”

"There's no reason."

Liu Zhang thought in his heart, unlike everyone else, he couldn't tell these people in the hall, as a traverser, he was deeply aware that Cao Cao was his great enemy, and now Cao Cao was confronting Yuan Shao in Guandu, and there were empty cities behind him, which was a good time to eliminate Cao Cao......

The ministers looked at each other and discussed a lot.

"Lord, now that the people's livelihood in Jingzhou is withering, and thieves are everywhere, you can't go north."

"Lord, the Jiangdong tiger and wolf are on the side, if it is a northern expedition, the Jiangdong army will sneak attack my rear."

"Lord, now Yuan Shao is strong, Cao Cao is weak, our Northern Expedition is just to accelerate Yuan Shao's annexation of the Central Plains, Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke, with a million heroes to the south, how to fight the enemy."

The ministers persuaded each other. Liu Zhang was almost shaken, but he still believed that Cao Cao was his great enemy, and if he didn't attack at this time, he would definitely regret it in the future.

"Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage and is the only national thief in the world, and he must be condemned, but you have a point, the sergeants are tired, the food and grass are scarce, and the rear is unstable.

Therefore, this time, the official only dispatched 50,000 to 70,000 elite soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all stationed in Jingzhou, which would definitely sweep the Central Plains. ”

Liu Zhang's words were resolute, all the civil and military forces did not dare to persuade again, they all returned to their original positions, Zhang Ren also retreated, the lord wanted to fight, and of course he could only be loyal as a general.

Only Fa Zheng and Huang Yueying stood in the hall, Fa Zheng was silent for a while, and said: "Lord, as long as the lord is far away from Jingzhou, the chaos in Jingzhou will arise, and the chaos in Jingzhou will inevitably cause Jiangdong to covet it, and the remnants of the family will also raise their heads one after another, and the situation in Jingzhou will be out of control, and the subordinates will resolutely oppose the Northern Expedition of the lord at this time." ”
