After Chu Li returned to the General's Mansion, she had concerns about Liu Yue's matter. But Chu Li would not show it, after all, she still wanted to lure out the person behind the scenes.

This kind of thing was not planned in advance. Chu Li didn't believe it. She stayed put for now and then made other plans.

Also, that old man Liu Wang, his massage techniques were so good that she didn't want to lose his skills.

When it was said that Cao Cao had arrived, Liu Wang staggered over and walked to Chu Li who was drinking tea and admiring the flowers in the back garden of the General's Mansion. He asked: "General, as an old man like me, can't I come and enjoy the flowers with the general?"

, I haven’t lived such a leisurely life for a long time.”

Chu Li took a look at Liu Wang. The old man did have a vicissitudes of life on his face, but looking at his neck, Chu Li guessed that he was about fifty years old.

"Of course, sit down."

Liu Wang also thanked Chu Li: "Thank you, General."

In the back garden of the General's Mansion, hundreds of flowers were blooming, and Chu Li was sitting at the stone table, drinking fresh tea, leisurely and comfortable.

She poured a cup of tea for Liu Wang and said, "Try it. Although it is not expensive tea, it has a unique taste."

"Then you're welcome as an old man like me. Thank you General for the tea."

Liu Wang took a sip and then put down the tea cup, "General, this tea is good. It must have been picked in the early morning!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Li was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he could taste it. He seemed to be an expert.

"That's right."

…

The two chatted some more, and Chu Li had more doubts in her mind. Liu Wang was not a simple person, and he was definitely not a simple masseur.

——————

In Qianfu, Qian Yuchen still locked himself in the room, refusing to come out or eat, but Qian Yixiang and Mrs. Yun Shang were so anxious that they even had the idea of ​​letting their daughter leave Qianfu.

"Daughter, please leave home! Mother knows that you don't want to be trapped in the deep palace, and mother can't bear your suffering. Others say that the palace is good, but mother knows that it is a place that eats people. Even if the emperor now has an empty harem

, but there’s no guarantee that he won’t marry a concubine in the future, so just run away!”

Qian Yuchen finally opened the door. Her face was pale, her figure was thin, and she looked pitiful.

"I'm not leaving, mother, I'm hungry." Qian Yuchen looked at Yun Shang with empty eyes.

"Okay, Mom, go bring you some food." Yun Shang turned around and covered her face with her sleeves. She was afraid that she would cry and be seen by others.

Qian Yuchen looked at her mother's leaving figure with a despairing heart. She knew that if she ran away against the order, their family would definitely not be in trouble. That dog emperor Xia Longyuan was ruthless, and there was no guarantee that he would not anger her parents.

So! She can't go, she can't go.

Yun Shang quickly brought her daughter a lot of dishes, including vegetarian and meat dishes, and also brought her a bottle of wine.

Qian Yuchen moved her chopsticks and drank the wine...

Chu Li also received the news that Xia Longyuan was going to marry Qian Yuchen as his queen. She thought for a moment and decided to go see Xia Longyuan. The express she wanted to send had not yet been sent to Qian Yuchen, and she didn't know Qian Yuchen.

Do you want to enter the palace or not?

Yes, you have to go to Qianfu first and ask Qian Yuchen what he means, and then go to see Xia Longyuan.

When Chu Li was brought to Qian Yuchen, she was already a little drunk, but she still saw clearly who it was: "It turns out to be the General! Sit down!"

In fact, Qian Yixiang didn't want Chu Li to see her daughter, so when Chu Li came to Qianfu, he deliberately said that her daughter was not there, but Chu Li said: "Master Qian, maybe I can help you, no, I should say help you

daughter."

A smart man like Qian Yixiang naturally understood what Chu Li meant. He compromised and asked his servants to take her to his daughter's room.

That's why Chu Li could stand in front of Qian Yuchen.

"Are you drinking to drown your sorrows?"

Qian Yuchen had a sad look on his face: "Ease your sorrow, General, this wine can't relieve your sorrow! I still feel very uncomfortable."

"Then what do you think?"

"What else can I think? It's not my fault."

Chu Li took out the dagger and handed it to Qian Yuchen, "Give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Qian Yuchen picked up the dagger and looked at it, liking it very much.

"Qian Yuchen, this dagger is not only given to you by me, but also given by you in the future." Chu Li planned to weave a true and false story to tell her.

Qian Yuchen was confused, "General, what are you talking about?"

"Let's do this! Let me tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a passionate little girl. Her biggest dream was to hold a sword and travel to the end of the world. Unfortunately, her family arranged a marriage for her. She got married. After they got married,

She was constrained by daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and gradually she forgot her youthful dream."

Then one day, a lively and cheerful little girl knocked on her door and asked for a bowl of water. She invited the little girl in and enthusiastically poured her a bowl of water.

She asked the little girl why she was still outside at night. The little girl told her that she was going on an adventure and she wanted to go out and see more while she was young. When she gets old, she might not be able to walk.

Hearing the little girl's words, she also thought of herself when she was young, wanting to go out and explore, but unfortunately, she couldn't stick to her own ideas.

Only later did she realize that there was only a certain period of time in life when she could be impulsive and childish. After this period, she could no longer have that kind of fearless courage and passion.

After telling this story, Chu Li said: "Qian Yuchen, don't let yourself become the little girl in the story, follow your heart."

"but I……"

Chu Li knew her hesitation and worry, so she asked casually: "Do you think an old girl will regret seeing a young girl?"

Qian Yuchen opened her mouth, but in the end she still didn't say what she thought was the answer: yes, she would regret it.

"General, do you think I have a choice?"

"Yes, it depends on whether you are willing or not. However, you have to think clearly about your choice. You never need others to help you make your choice. You can make the choice you think is the right choice." Chu Li poured herself a glass of wine.

, drink it all in one gulp.

Yes! She had to make a choice. Qian Yuchen's drunken look completely disappeared and she returned to her passionate and unrestrained look.

"General, I like this dagger, and I will also like this dagger in the future."

Chu Li understood the implication of her words and said to her: "I will let you get what you want."

After leaving Qianfu, Chu Li went to the palace without stopping. She wanted to negotiate a deal with Xia Longyuan, a deal that he could not refuse. Chu Li's horse ran very fast, drawing an invisible line on the street.

Faintly visible.
