Jia Xu's words stunned Yuan Shu for a moment, but the look on Yuan Shu's face was not soothed at all, but asked Jia Xu: "Now that he is riding a tiger, if he releases Wang Zhen, I am afraid that people in the world will laugh at ......."

"Yuan Gong was just bewitched by the villain!" Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists, Jia Xu smiled and said to Yuan Shu: "What you do is just a villain in secret, what does it have to do with Yuan Gong?" If Yuan Gong stopped it in time, how could the people of the world laugh at Yuan Gong? ”

Opposing Liu Wei has long been an extremely important part of Yuan Shu's hegemony plan.

He once sent someone to assassinate Liu Wei, and after the defeat, Yuan Shu was also ready to launch a war against the Luoyang army. The seizure of Wang Zhen, the pursuit of Wang Liu, and the wanton search in the city for Deng Zhan, who had never shown up but must have arrived in Yangzhou, had already become a part of Yuan Shu's plan.

He just didn't expect that after Wang Zhen was detained, Liu Wei was not so angry that he immediately sent troops to attack Huainan, but sent Jia Xu to Yangzhou to negotiate with him to release Wang Zhen.

What made him even more helpless and angry was that Jia Xu would be assassinated in Yangzhou City. In this way, if he argues against Liu again, I am afraid that the princes of the world will use troops against him, and it will be a little more famous.

With Liu Wei occupying Youzhou, but giving up Youzhou to Yuan Shao, I am afraid that once the army is used against Huainan, there will be many princes who respond in groups.

Liu Wei is etiquette has been exhausted, and the current situation is very unfavorable to Yuan Shu! If Wang Zhen is not released, I am afraid that the Luoyang army will really use force against Huainan, and Yuan Shu will inevitably be defeated and die in the end.

Looking at Jia Xu standing in front of him, Yuan Shu frowned tightly, and did not respond to what Jia Xu said, but seemed to be in deep thought.

"Yuan Gong!" Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't speak, Jia Xu looked up at him, and said to him very earnestly: "The Huainan army is strong and strong, invincible on the battlefield, and the Huainan area is rich in products, even if it supports more than ten years of war, it will not hurt the muscles and bones. But Yuan Gong never thought that once he started a war with the King of Luoyang, who would the heroes of the world stand by? ”

was asked by Jia Xu like this, and Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment.

Jia Xu's words happened to ask about the heart disease he had always had.

Liu Biannai is a Han clan, and he is also the heir of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zhan, who were enemies of Liu Wei earlier, were defeated and died one after another, and every time they crusaded against Liu Wei's enemies, there would be princes involved.

At present, Liu Wei is in full swing, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are also vassals. Although he and Yuan Shao are half-brothers, Yuan Shao was born as a concubine, and Yuan Shu, who was born as a son-in-law, has always looked down on him, and the relationship between the brothers is like fire and water.

If Yuan Shu started a war with Liu Wei, Cao Cao, who brought Liu Xie to Xuchang, might not have participated in the war, but Yuan Shao of Hebei would definitely stand on the same front with Liu Wei and launch a crusade against Huainan.

After weighing the comparison of strength and strength in his mind, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't expect the princes who could be united, Yuan Shu finally nodded and said to Jia Xu: "I immediately ordered to put Miss Wang Zhen back!" ”

"Thank you Gong Yuan!" Yuan Shu finally let go and released Wang Zhen, Jia Xu hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed, saluted him, and thanked him.

was locked up in prison for a few days, although Sun Ce secretly took care of him, Wang Zhen still suffered a lot.

Especially on the night of Jia Xu's assassination, Wang Zhen personally led people to interrogate Wang Zhen, and beat her with bruises all over her body, and she could hardly find a good skin on her body.

In the face of torture, Wang Zhen gritted his teeth and survived.

followed Jia Xu back to the lower place, Wang Zhen, who was covered in dirt, first thought of not to rest and find a doctor to treat her injuries, but to take a hot bath first to wash away the dirt all over her body.

Born as an older sister, I saw that Wang Zhen's clothes were soaked with blood, and the purple-black blood stains were solidified on the clothes, and she was covered in filth.

Jia Xu instructed his servants to fetch hot water for Wang Zhen, which was supposed to be served by the maidservant, but Wang Liu said that he had to wash Wang Zhen in person, so the maid could only do some work to send dry clothes and add hot water.

In the small bathing room, there is a large wooden barrel. The hot water in the wooden barrel was steaming mist, and the whole room was filled with steam like a thick fog.

When he walked into the house, he would be greeted by a heat wave, but when Wang Zhen entered the room, he did not feel the slightest discomfort because of the heat wave, but seemed to enjoy taking a deep breath of humid steam.

Wang Liu, who followed Wang Zhen into the hut, saw that Wang Zhen was intoxicated when she sucked steam, and knew that she had suffered a lot, and she was even more distressed by Wang Zhen.

"Sister!" Taking a deep breath of damp steam, Wang Zhen turned his head to look at Wang Liu, who was standing behind him, and reluctantly squeezed out a tired smile to her, and said in a hoarse voice: "I can wash it at home, you can go and rest." ”

"You and I are sisters!" Standing behind Wang Zhen, Wang Liu showed her an apologetic and bitter smile, and whispered to her: "If I hadn't left you alone to face the Huainan army that day......

"It's nothing more than multiple people suffering!" Without waiting for Wang Liu to finish speaking, Wang Zhen hoarsely smiled, turned around and walked towards the barrel.

Standing next to the barrel, Wang Zhen wanted to raise his hand to take off the clothes on his body, but the clothes had been coagulated by blood, and in some places even involved the flesh and skin.

Seeing that it was very difficult for Wang Zhen to undress, Wang Liu hurriedly walked to her side and helped her gently peel off her clothes.

The clothes slowly faded, and Wang Zhen's once smooth skin was now a mess.

The snow-white backbone is covered with criss-crossing scars, and even the full **** has left a few bright red blood marks.

"This ......" helped Wang Zhen gently take off his shirt and throw his shirt on the ground, Wang Liu reached out to support Wang Zhen with three or four scars on his side, and asked her softly: "How did they treat you so badly?" ”

The soft **** was held in Wang Liu's hand, Wang Zhen first looked down at the scar on his chest, and then gently opened Wang Liu's palm and said softly: "Sister, where is this touching......"

"You and I are both daughters, why bother with this!" Ignoring Wang Zhen's shyness, Wang Liu walked to the barrel, stretched out his hand to probe in the water, and said to Wang Zhen: "The water temperature is just right, you can wash it." Just keep an eye on the wound and don't soak it for too long. ”

"Got it!" Wang Zhen, who had already stripped off all his clothes and was wearing not an inch of veil, gently raised his feet and stepped on the wooden stairs next to the barrel.

Due to the need to keep the steam in the house from leaking out too quickly, the whole hut only has a small boxy window.

The dim light from the window does not illuminate the whole room, which is why there are two candlesticks in the room, each lit with four white candles.

The white candles burned, and the sparkling light of the stars gilded the steam that filled the room.

There were only three layers of wooden steps, and Wang Zhen, who was bare-striped, ascended the steps, stepped out of his slender jade legs, and stepped over the edge of the barrel.

Although he suffered a lot of torture, Wang Zhen's two slender jade legs were still strong and fit, and under the reflection of the candlelight, except for the wound, the skin in the rest of the place was still shining like jade.

With a sound of water, Wang Zhen stepped past the wooden barrel and stood in the bucket full of hot water.

The barrel was huge, but it was only as high as the base of her thigh.

Standing in the water, the two buttocks, against the backdrop of the water waves, look more and more smooth as jade, making people want to reach out and feel the smooth and soft at a glance.

After taking the sackcloth from the barrel, Wang Zhen soaked the sackcloth in water and wiped his body little by little.

The linen cloth is not comparable to the cotton cloth that was introduced to the Central Plains in later generations, the linen cloth is rough, rubbed on the body, the sense of friction is very strong, Wang Zhen is covered with injuries, whenever the linen cloth is wiped from the wound on her body, she will purse her lips tightly, and subconsciously frown slightly.

Standing outside the barrel, Wang Liu also took another piece of linen from the side and helped Wang Zhen gently wipe his back.

On Wang Zhen's back, there were shocking scars on the ridges, and every time he rubbed those scars, Wang Liu didn't dare to exert more force, for fear of hurting Wang Zhen.

"My sister has so many scars on her body, if she has scabs in the future, how can my sister feel at ease!" Gently helping Wang Zhen wipe her body, Wang Liu sighed lightly, and said faintly: "I complain about my sister, I didn't listen to His Highness's dissuasion that day......"

"Sister doesn't have to be like this!" Before Wang Liu's words were finished, Wang Zhen interrupted her and said in a very indifferent tone: "A woman is good-looking, but it is just to please men. In today's world, the man who can make my sister tempted may not have appeared! Even if you have a scar on your body, it doesn't matter! ”

It's good that Wang Zhen didn't speak, although she said this, although she wanted to explain Wang Liu, but listening to Wang Liu's ears, it made Wang Liu feel uncomfortable in the bottom of her heart.

didn't know what to say again, Wang Liu just sighed lightly and helped Wang Zhen continue to scrub the wound, but he didn't say anything more.

Jia Xu took Wang Zhen back from the prison, and in a private house in the city, Deng Zhan put his hands behind his back and looked around at the nine men standing in front of him.

"Zhonglang secretly united with General Wang Liu to assassinate him, although one of our brothers was injured, we also rescued General Wang Zhen." Looking around at the nine men standing in front of him, Deng Zhan bowed his hand to the men with apology in his tone, and said to them: "Brothers came to Yangzhou with General Ben, a good life is not a day, but every day to avoid the pursuit of the Huainan Army, especially the injured brother, pretending to be an assassin, if His Royal Highness knows about this matter, I am afraid that General Ben and Zhonglang will not be able to afford it!" General Ben can't stand the brothers! ”

"I won't wait, the general won't say it, Your Highness doesn't know!" As soon as Deng Zhan's words fell, a man raised his foot and took a step forward, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said: "If the general has something, just give orders, but if we can do it, even if we die, we will not hesitate!" ”

"General Wang Zhen has been rescued!" Nodding at the man, Deng Zhan's gaze wandered around the faces of everyone in front of him for a while, and then he said to everyone: "Your Highness had issued a killing order earlier, from now on, you and others will pay close attention to Wang Zhen and kill this person, and I will return to Luoyang as soon as possible!" ”
