"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Liu Ji and Liu are here for the banquet! And..." The guard who ran into the hall bowed to Liu Xuan and saluted. When he spoke, he glanced at Liu Xuan cautiously and did not finish his sentence.
Hearing the guard's report, Liu Xuan and even Zhu Tuna, Zhang Xuan, Li Yi and others were shocked. Even Liu Yan was confused. Didn't he ask Liu Ji to stay outside the city? Why did he enter the city?
Liu Xuanqiang pretended to stand still and asked: "What else?"
The guard whispered: "With Colonel Liu, there are three thousand brothers who are trapped in the camp, and they are all outside the palace now. Lieutenant Liu said that your majesty wants to reward the three armies, and cannot ignore one and lose the other. The three thousand brothers under his command should also Get rewarded."
The expressions of Liu Xuan, Zhu Tuna and others suddenly changed. Did Liu Ji lead the trapped camp into the city? How did they get in?
It's very simple, he broke in forcefully! Liu Yan left Liu Ji and his brothers who were trapped in the camp outside the city, but when Liu Ji came to Wancheng with Liu Yan, Deng Yu specially told him not to separate from Liu Yan. You need to follow Liu Yan at all times.
Liu Ji remembered Deng Yu's instructions, so when Liu Yan left them outside the city, he didn't say much. But as soon as Liu Yan entered the city, he followed with his brothers who were trapped in the camp.
The soldiers guarding the city gate wanted to stop him, but they couldn't. Liu Ji was a notorious fool and could do anything. He insisted on entering the city, but the soldiers guarding the city didn't dare to be too tough. Block everything.
Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he swallowed, turned to look at Liu Yan, forced a smile without smiling, and asked with a dry smile on his face: "Da Situ, what... does this mean?"
Liu Yan laughed and said disapprovingly: "When I entered the city, I left A Ji outside the city. I guess A Ji heard that there was wine and meat in the palace, so he took his brothers into the city. Your Majesty, can you let A Ji After entering the palace, as for the brothers below, your majesty can just give you some rewards."
Liu Xuan was so angry that his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling. Three thousand soldiers and horses entered the capital rashly. Such a big thing was brought to an end by your understatement?
Looking at Liu Yan happily, Liu Xuan was suddenly shocked. Could it be that the news had leaked and Liu Yan had noticed his actions?
But on second thought, Liu Xuan felt that it was impossible. Not many people knew the inside story, not even Wang Kuang and Wang Feng, so it was unlikely that the news would be leaked.
What's more, given Liu Yan's character, if he really noticed it, he wouldn't sit here and talk to him so pleasantly.
Thinking of this, Liu Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Okay, just follow what the elder brother said!" As he spoke, he looked at the guard who reported the news and said: "General Liu is invited to enter the palace. As for the brothers who are trapped in the camp, some rewards can be distributed. With food and wine!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" the guard agreed, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Not long after he left, loud laughter could be heard outside the hall, and then, Liu Ji strode in from outside.
Entering the hall, he first looked around and said with a smile: "Hey, there are quite a lot of people here, everyone who should be there and who shouldn't be there are all here!"
After listening to Liu Ji's words, everyone present had a variety of expressions. They couldn't help but secretly whisper in their hearts, who do you think should be there? Who shouldn't be there?
Faced with Liu Ji, a man with a simple mind, strong force, bravery in the three armies, and no stinginess, no one except Liu Yan would not have a headache.
Even Zhu Tuna, who always spoke sharply, was reluctant to talk to Liu Ji, so as not to make himself angry and leave the other party helpless.
Liu Xuan forced his face and said with a smile: "Colonel Liu is here. Please give me a seat!"
"No need!" Liu Ji casually bowed his hand to Liu Xuan, then walked directly behind Liu Yan, knelt down on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, I can just sit here with my eldest brother. Here is the general, and here is the general. It belongs to the minister, so where is the place for me, a little captain?"
Since you know clearly that there is no place for you, why did you come in? Everyone present muttered in their hearts, but no one said it out loud. Even Wang Kuang and Wang Feng were not willing to provoke Liu Ji and were extremely wary of him. .
It's not that I'm afraid of him, it's that if I'm serious with a fool, my price will drop, and I'll get entangled.
Liu Xuan looked at Liu Ji and then at everyone present, the smile on his face became even more embarrassing. Liu Yan didn't seem to sense the strange atmosphere at the scene, so he took off his sword and handed it to a maid waiting nearby.
The maid held the sword, walked up to Liu Xuan, and handed the sword to him respectfully. Wang Ba originally wanted to stop Liu Yan, but because of Liu Ji's sudden arrival, he swallowed back the words that hit his throat.
This was the first time he met Liu Ji, but he had heard of Liu Ji's name for a long time. He was the most brave and adept general in the Zhutian Army. It was said that he was brave enough to be invincible to ten thousand people. Seeing how much everyone present looked at Liu Ji I'm afraid, most of the rumors are true.
With Liu Ji present and three thousand soldiers trapped in the camp outside, Liu Xuan had to be a little wary even if he had evil intentions. He looked at Liu Yan subconsciously and couldn't help but nod secretly. On the surface, Liu Yan seemed to have no fear of Liu Xuan. , but in fact, he was just keeping quiet. Otherwise, when he returned to Wancheng this time, he would not have brought Liu Ji and Sanqian into the camp.
In fact, Wang Ba overestimated Liu Yan. The reason why Liu Ji and the trapped camp accompanied Liu Yan and forced their way into Wancheng were all arranged by Deng Yu and had nothing to do with Liu Yan himself.
Liu Xuan took the sword from the maid. He held the hilt and pulled it out. When the blade of the sword was unsheathed, a cold light suddenly appeared in the hall, which made Liu Xuan's heart tremble as he drew the sword.
Liu Ji said proudly: "This sword of brother's is called 'Zhujie'. The number of people who died under the sword of Zhuzai is not a hundred, but there must be dozens?! Haha!"
As he spoke, he threw his head back and laughed, not knowing what he was laughing at.
After hearing his words, Liu Xuan's heart shrank even more, and he felt that the hand holding the sword hilt became cold.
At this time, Liu Ji patted the sword under his ribs again and said: "Compared with the eldest brother's traitor sword, there are only a lot more undead under my sword. Do you want Ah Xuan to appreciate it too?"
Liu Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he waved his hand to Liu Ji subconsciously. Zhu Qian couldn't help it anymore, slapped the table and shouted: "Liu Ji, you are so brave, you dare to call His Majesty by his first name, you should..."
Before he could finish his words, Liu Ji waved his hand impatiently and said: "Come on, you, when I and Ah Xuan met, you didn't know where the hell you were. I and Ah Xuan wore open crotch pants and peed. When you are living in the mud, who knows who you are, Zhu Tuna?"
Zhu Kun is now the Grand Sima. How can anyone dare to speak to him like this and scold his mother in front of him? Zhu Kun stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed angrily at Liu Ji, gritting his teeth and said: "Liu Ji, you..."
"It's yours. If you don't accept it, we'll go out and have a fight!" Liu Ji squinted at Zhu Tuna, sneered and said, "If you don't dare to fight me, it doesn't matter. I'm outside the palace now."
Of the three thousand brothers, you pick one of them at random. As long as you can win, I will lose! Damn it, I led the camp, attacked the city, and killed countless enemies. Which of my brothers is not from the pile of dead people?
After crawling out, how many enemy soldiers and generals have you killed, Commander-in-Chief?"
"You..." Zhu Kun was so angry that he was trembling all over. Liu Xuan, on the other hand, waved his hands to Zhu Kun and Liu Ji and said, "Both of you are the pillars of the court. If you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Such a big brother
What's the point of making such a fuss?!"
Zhu Tuna glanced at Liu Xuan, who wanted to calm down the matter, and then at Liu Ji, who had a look of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction on his face, gritted his teeth secretly, and finally sat back.
Wang Kuang and Wang Feng glanced at Zhu Tuna and shook their heads helplessly. You clearly know that Liu Ji is a fool, why are you arguing with him? Aren't you just asking for your own wrath?
Liu Ji's words were unpleasant to hear, but they unexpectedly touched a certain nerve in Liu Xuan's mind, making him feel filled with emotion for a moment, and he naturally recalled the scenes of playing with his brothers of the same clan as Liu Ji when he was a child.
At that time, there was no intrigue or secret fighting, only carefreeness, innocence and joy. Whoever had a piece of cake would break it into half and share it with everyone.
Liu Xuan murmured: "When I was a child, when Brother Ji had something to eat, he would take it out and share it with everyone. Others ate more, but Brother Ji ate the least."
Liu Ji scratched his hair, grinned and said with a silly smile: "Axuan, you remember it all!"
Liu Xuan's eyes turned red and he said, "How can I forget?!"
When he was on the run, many people added insult to injury, but no one helped him when it was time. Later, he joined the Green Forest Army and plunged headlong into the whirlpool. He never had the intention of becoming an emperor. It was the Green Forest people who pushed him to the throne.
.
But once he sat on the throne, he had no choice but to do everything possible to consolidate his throne and prevent himself from falling off the throne. An emperor who lost his throne would only have one word to greet him:
die.
Seeing Liu Xuan's sad look, Liu Yan picked up the wine glass and handed it to Liu Ji behind him. Then he poured himself another glass of wine and said, "Your Majesty, let's have a drink, three of us brothers!"
"Okay, let's have a drink!" Liu Xuan took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, put down Liu Yan's sword, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass with Liu Yan and Liu Ji.
Seeing that Liu Xuan seemed to have forgotten the purpose of the banquet tonight, and instead started drinking with Liu Yan and Liu Ji, Zhu Jun felt anxious and angry. He couldn't help pointing to a jade pendant on Liu Xuan's waist and said: "Your Majesty
The jade pendant I’m wearing today is very beautiful!”
When Liu Xuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed. This jade pendant was the signal for them to take action tonight.
As long as he takes off the jade pendant and lifts it up, this is the order to take action. At that time, the swordsmen and axemen who are ambushing around the hall will rush in and capture Liu Yan on the spot.
But at this time, Liu Xuan suddenly hesitated and was a little undecided.
First, it was Liu Ji's unintentional words that brought back memories of his childhood and the family affection in his heart. Secondly, and most importantly, Liu Yan was with Liu Ji by his side.
Liu Xuan was afraid of Liu Yan because Liu Yan's prestige was too high and would threaten his throne, but his fear of Liu Ji was much more direct. He knew very well how brave Liu Ji was.
Now that he and Liu Ji are close at hand, if something goes wrong, it will be easy for Liu Ji to kill him, not to mention that there are three thousand people trapped in the camp outside the palace. Liu Ji's words are not an exaggeration. The trapped camp is under Liu Yan's control Even though there are only 3,000 of the most elite troops, when brought to the battlefield, they can be used as 30,000 people. If I kill Liu Yan, these 3,000 people will go crazy and attack the palace and smash themselves to pieces. Thousands of corpses.
At that time, the Green Forest Department can completely establish another puppet emperor, but he will be really dead and will never survive again.
