Chapter 1071: Flower Pavilion Summons
On the third day after Yuan Xi was ambushed by Wang Zhen and others, he was in Luoyang City.
Liu Wei put his hands behind his back, standing on the boat, looking at the sparkling lake, smelling the cool and humid breath on the lake, and his face was full of intoxication.
It's been a few days since he's been boating on the lake like this.
In addition to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who had just returned to Luoyang, there were also Guan Qing, who was in the same boat as he wanted to invite Yuan Xi and his wife.
"Qing'er!" With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Guan Qing who was sitting behind him, and asked her, "Do you remember when your real birthday was?" ”
When it came to her birthday, Guan Qing's face showed a touch of loss, she slowly shook her head, turned her head to look at the sparkling lake, and said leisurely: "Qing'er's parents have died since she was a child, and her brother is a rough-thinking man, where do you know Qing'er's birthday...... Now His Royal Highness celebrates Qing'er's birthday, and the day chosen by His Royal Highness will be Qing'er's birthday in the future! ”
Guan Qing's words were very resentful, and listening to Liu Bi's ears, he intuitively felt that it was very unpleasant in his heart.
It has been a long time since she married Guan Qing, and since she was married, Liu Wei has been with her much less than in the early years.
Back then, Guan Qing would fight with him, but now that he is the king of Qin, the days of personally leading the army out of the station are long gone.
Guan Qing, as the princess, has no chance to go out with the army now.
When the two of them met, only when Liu Wei remembered it, he could linger for a while when he went to her bedroom to be pampered.
Since becoming the king of Qin, although Liu Wei has never personally led the army to the expedition, there are many more affairs throughout the day than before.
Many times, he slept alone, and several princesses were somewhat snubbed by him.
Looking at the lake, Liu Wei sighed softly and said to Guan Qing: "This king can't stand Qing'er......"
"Your Royal Highness......" Liu Wei suddenly said such a sentence, stunned Guan Qing for a moment, and hurriedly raised his head and said: "Your Highness celebrates Qing'er's birthday, Qing'er doesn't know how happy she is......"
"This king is also thinking twice, Tang Ji, Zhao Ji, Ju Ci and even Huanniang, their birthdays are all known to this king, but Qing'er, this king does not know the birthday!" didn't look back, Liu Wei raised his face slightly, looked at the blue sky and said: "To celebrate Qing'er's birthday, it is this king who took advantage of Qing'er's birthday for unknown reasons......
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this!" Slowly stood up, walked behind Liu Bian, Guan Qing pursed his lips, and said softly to Liu Bian: "From this year onwards, the day of His Royal Highness's election is Qing'er's birthday. In this way, His Royal Highness bestows Qing'er's birthday, isn't it a great favor for Qing'er! ”
Knowing that Guan Qing was speaking out to explain him, Liu Wei was moved in his heart, reached out to stop her shoulder, and hugged her into his arms.
Standing in the boat and rowing the oars, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were speechless.
It wasn't until Liu Wei took Guan Qing into his arms that Wang Zhen said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, Yuan Xi wants to come today and tomorrow to arrive." ”
"Yuan Xi is suspicious!" Holding Guan Qing in his arms, Liu Wei did not look back, his eyes were still on the lake, and he asked Wang Zhen.
Sending Wang Zhen to pretend to assassinate Yuan Xi, although this matter was Tian Feng's idea, Liu Wei was very unhappy in his heart.
The superiors all day long think about how to get more benefits in this troubled world, and Liu Wei, who was never willing to seek benefits in this way in the early years, now has to adopt this way to maximize the interests of Great Qin.
Whenever he thought of this, he always felt a little sorry for Yuan Xi.
Although he felt sorry in his heart, Liu Wei knew very well that even if he was asked to choose again, he would definitely let Wang Zhen go to feign assassination again.
After all, only in this way can it be possible to persuade Yuan Xi and leave Zhen Mi in Luoyang.
The battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is afraid that the end has already been clear, even if Yuan Shao recruits soldiers and horses again, the newly recruited army lacks training after all, and the overall combat strength of the Cao army is not at the same level.
If the two sides went to war again, Liu Wei would not have the slightest doubt that Cao Jun had the ability to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.
Once Yuan Shao is defeated, Hebei will be in chaos, and when Yuan Shao dies, the battle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will only make Yuan disappear from the stage of history.
This ending is something that Liu Wei refuses to see and does not want to see.
The powerful Yuan clan, Liu Wei didn't want to see, but what he didn't want to see was Cao Cao, who gradually rose from the Central Plains!
persuaded Yuan Xi to keep Zhen Mi in Luoyang, and then used Zhen Mi as a hostage to control Yuan Xi to control the forces in Hebei, which was extremely important to Liu Wei.
Shaking the oars, Wang Zhen said to Liu Wei: "After the assassination of Yuan Xi, the last general led the guards to fall far behind, and the team escorting him just marched towards Daqin as fast as possible, and did not stop for a moment, thinking that there was no suspicion of Daqin!" ”
Nodding his head, Liu Wei didn't say anything more, looking at the sparkling lake, but the look on his face was a little more dignified than before.
Boating on the lake, Liu Wei was looking at the lake and thinking about how to deal with the upcoming crisis, and Wang Liu behind him reminded in a low voice: "Your Highness, there seems to be a guard on the shore who has something to report to Your Highness!" ”
Hearing Wang Liu's reminder, Liu Wei turned his head and looked towards the shore.
Sure enough, on the edge of the lake, a guard was bent over with his fists in front of them as they rafted.
Seeing the guard, Liu Wei waved his hand and said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were rowing the oars behind him: "Go back to the shore!" ”
was hugged by Liu Wei, and when he said the three words back to the shore, Guan Qing's face showed a faint sense of loss.
Since marrying Liu Bian, the days with him have been much less than in the early years, and every time Liu Biao goes to his bedroom, it is just to stay for one night, and he will leave as soon as it is dawn.
Back on the shore, Liu Wei must be busy with important matters related to the survival of Great Qin, and the time with her will be much less.
Snuggled in Liu Wei's arms, although Guan Qing was slightly lost in his heart, he did not speak.
She was born as a yellow turban general, after all, she is somewhat different from ordinary women.
married to Liu Wei, a female general who used to dominate, but now she has become a canary trapped in a cage, but Guan Qing is willing to be such a canary.
Perennial conquest, she has long been tired of killing, although Liu Wei has not had much time with her now, but she has finally returned to the stable life that a woman should live.
Wang Liu and Wang Zhen floated in a small boat and slowly walked towards the shore of the lake.
As soon as he arrived at the shore, the guard who was bowing down to the boat with his fists in his hands said to Liu Wei: "Your Royal Highness, Prince Yuan Xi has come to the palace!" ”
Liu Wei, who originally thought that Yuan Xi would not arrive so soon, was stunned for a moment when he learned that he had come to the palace, and hurriedly waved his hand at the guard and said, "Please wait for the king in the flower pavilion in the back garden!" ”
"No!" The guard clenched his fists in response, took two steps back, and then turned and strode towards the front yard.
Ordered the guard to meet Yuan Xi in the Flower Pavilion, as soon as Liu Wei let go of his hand, Guan Qing hugged his fist and bowed slightly to him and said: "Your Highness has something important to deal with, Qing'er will retire first!" ”
Although Guan Qing has already become a canary in King Qin's mansion, she still maintains the habit of courtesy with men when she meets people.
As soon as Guan Qing saluted, Liu Wei smiled at her and said: "Yuan Xi came to Luoyang to celebrate Qing'er's birthday. Qing'er and this king together, and went to the flower pavilion to meet Yuan Xi and his wife! ”
didn't expect Liu Wei to let her go to meet Yuan Xi together, Guan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded: "No! ”
Walking in the front, Guan Qing walked a little later on the left, followed by Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, and Liu Wei strode towards the flower pavilion.
The distance between the flower pavilion and the lake is farther than the front yard to the flower pavilion.
Along the bluestone-paved inner courtyard path, Liu Wei and the others walked unhurriedly towards the flower pavilion.
There was still some distance from the Flower Pavilion, and Liu Wei saw a few people walking a little farther away.
Those people followed a guard, turned out of the path, and got onto a gravel road full of trees, and soon disappeared from the sight of Liu Wei and the others.
Seeing the guards leading the few people on the gravel path, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to Guan Qing: "This king has long heard that Yuan Xi's wife Zhen is as beautiful as an immortal, but today he has the benefit of Qing'er, so it can be seen that this rumored beautiful woman!" ”
As Liu Wei's princess, Guan Qing knew that this King of Qin was not the kind of womanizer who couldn't walk when he saw a woman.
She just pursed her lips and smiled, did not answer Liu Bian's words, and followed Liu Bian towards the path where the figure disappeared just now.
The flower pavilion was built at the end of the path.
The pavilion is not very large, only the size of a wing.
The glazed pavilion roof, under the sunlight, reflects the golden luster, and the red columns will be painted every once in a while to keep their color bright.
Outside the pavilion, there is a pond that is not very large.
The pond is full of lotus roots
