Liu Qi and others continued their journey the next day. When they saw Wang Pu escorting Wang Sheng to retrieve the treasure, counselors Tian Feng and Guo Jia remained silent for a long time.
It turned out that when Wang Sheng was leaving, the lord took his wife Cai Wenji and the little maid who had washed off her disguise skills to say goodbye.
Even the eunuch's eyes widened when he saw Cai Wenji in front of him.
She is simply a hundred times more beautiful than the person in the painting, just like a mysterious goddess from the Nine Heavens.
"Master Wang, don't you recognize me?"
A clear and sweet female voice woke up the distracted Wang Sheng.
How come this voice is so familiar, pure and beautiful, and the figure is slim and graceful.
"You, you are that little maid..."
Wang Sheng was even more stunned. That ugly little maid was actually a beauty. This disguise technique was too clever.
The eunuch Wang Sheng, who was originally downcast, couldn't help but feel happy again.
"Lord, do you think the official family really wants it?"
As top strategists, Tian Feng and the genius Guo Jia still couldn't figure out what Wang Sheng meant by letting him go, but this was too incredible.
And there are some rebellious things, but when you think about it carefully, the protagonist Liu Qi never seems to follow the rules.
Dragons have reverse scales, as do the mistress Cai Wenji and the little maid. By doing this, they might be venting their anger on the two girls' behalf.
In the end, Tian Feng couldn't help but ask, but he only said half a sentence.
Liu Qi looked at Luoyang City behind him and replied something like that.
When they heard this sentence, both Tian Feng and Guo Jia sighed.
But then everyone showed a hint of excitement on their faces. As the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times.
The information just now was like a bomb exploding in their minds.
The road ahead was much peaceful. With Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other military generals guarding us, no bandit who was short-sighted would dare to rob us.
Wherever Liu Qi went, some county magistrates rushed to his door to give him gifts to curry favor with him.
In the past, he only had the title of the eldest son of the Mufu of Jizhou, and the clan lineage of the Han Dynasty was just a false name. Now he is the lord of Fancheng and a prince personally named by the official family.
Of course, the relationship between Liu Qi and Cai Wenji also accelerated along the way.
Although they had met before, they only admired and admired each other.
I have to say that staying together with Liu Qi and Cai Wenji is quite stressful. They are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are even better at classical Chinese classics.
Naturally, I know what I am educated about, and I am just trying to do what I do best.
Cai Wenji also knew that her husband would be an indomitable hero in the future, so she tried not to reveal his special skills such as scriptures.
Having such a gentle and considerate wife made Liu Qi feel beautiful.
Therefore, the speed on the way back to Fancheng was not very fast. Instead, we were sightseeing and stopping.
The two of them climbed a mountain to watch the morning sun, played in the water by the stream, and sang a song of high mountains and flowing water together to meet a close friend.
With a beautiful woman as his companion, life was very happy, and of course it was Liu Qi's intention.
Naturally, I ate a lot of beautiful women's tofu along the way. I don't think Cai Wenji had said a few words to a strange man in sixteen years.
What's more, the two of them have not yet gotten married, so they usually abide by etiquette, so naturally they are not allowed to do so. Unfortunately, they often get hurt unknowingly when they are lost in thought while watching the sunset.
Just when she was about to open her hand, Liu Qi's face was touched again.
In an instant, her peerless face was covered with red clouds, and she was so embarrassed that she was speechless.
Seeing the beauty's shy look, Liu Qi was also intoxicated.
"There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at Qingren city and then Qingren country..."
This poem was written by Li Yannian during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, describing the "peerless independence" among thousands of beauties.
Straight to the point, without any exaggeration or foreshadowing, Liu Qi read it out unknowingly.
How could Cai Wenji, who was originally in love, resist this?
Liu Qi ate a lot of tofu for a while, and he was so ashamed that he lay in the arms of his sweetheart and felt full of happiness.
A stream of virgin fragrance went straight into Liu Qi's nose. He felt the soft and boneless body of the beautiful woman in his arms, and his whole body couldn't help but feel warm.
"Bo Yu, let go quickly. The generals at the foot of the mountain are watching. They are so embarrassed."
Cai Wenji whispered, although she didn't want to leave this broad and warm chest, but etiquette came first after all.
Feeling the beauty's shyness in his arms, Liu Qi couldn't help but smile, so as not to embarrass Cai Wenji.
"Let's go, let's catch up with the setting sun..."
"Elm knot, who can catch up with the sun..."
A pair of big hands held a jade hand and continued to run towards the top of the mountain, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter and hearty laughter intertwined in the air.
At this time, there was a cloud of sadness in the Jizhou Mufu. The owner of the house, Liu Cong, massaged his temples on both sides and had a headache.
Uncle Cai Mao secretly mobilized an army of 80,000 to besiege Fancheng. Naturally, Liu Cong could not hide this.
I can't help but feel jealous when I think of the foundation that my eldest brother has built since he left the Jizhou Mufu.
There is also a sharp thorn in my heart, that is, my mother is practicing in a Taoist temple and never wants to see me again.
The reason was that Liu Cong did not think it was a mistake to force his mother to go to Fancheng to seek a solution to the plague.
I just want the Jizhou Mufu to develop stronger and for all the people.
But there were rumors that his mother and eldest brother were having an affair. Liu Cong couldn't help clenching his fists and his eyes were red.
The news I got from Luoyang this time is that the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong actually became the wife of Ren Yonghou. You must know what a great opportunity this is.
For a moment, all the envy, jealousy, and hatred in Liu Cong's heart surged up.
"Liu Qi!"
When his uncle Cai Mao sent out his army, Liu Cong also sent people to inquire about news about Fancheng.
The 80,000-strong army is not 80,000 pigs. My uncle is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Fancheng only has 50,000 horses.
As long as Fancheng is captured, it will be yours. After Jizhou Mufu took over, the plague spread and the economy was hit hard.
Hearing that Fancheng had thousands of acres of fertile land, which was almost his own, Liu Cong felt excited when he thought of this.
Liu Qi will definitely be dumbfounded when he comes back from Luoyang City in Kyoto. For the sake of his brother, he will not kill him immediately.
The reason for Liu Cong's headache was the news that came back from Kyoto a while ago that Liu Qi was actually granted a title, and the title was Fancheng.
Although the news has not spread yet, sooner or later it cannot be concealed. My uncle must hurry up and end everything before Liu Qi comes back.
"Report to the Palace Master, Mr. Liu Xian and Deng Yi to ask for an audience."
The guard's report came from outside the door.
Liu Xian and Deng Yi were both Liu Biao's advisers, and they were highly respected. There was no war after Liu Cong succeeded to the throne and rarely summoned these advisers.
Liu Cong, who was worried at first, didn't want to see these two counselors at all, but considering that they were both old people, it wouldn't be appropriate not to see them.
"please."
As two figures walked into the meeting hall, Liu Cong sat on the big chair directly above.
"I've met the Lord of the Palace."
Deng Yi and Liu Xian bowed respectfully to Liu Cong.
"You two gentlemen, there is no need to be polite. I wonder why you came to my residence today?"
Liu Cong said loudly and politely, but did not get up.
Seeing the palace master's cold expression, Deng Yi and Liu Xian glanced at each other.
Liu Xian was the first to stand up and said: "Master of the palace, I heard that General Cai Hao mobilized 80,000 troops to attack Fancheng. Is this true?"
