Chapter six hundred and thirty fifth old friends meet
Liu Xiu and others approached the Chinese military tent in Deng Zhongjun's camp. When they were near the Chinese military tent, Liu Xiu and others took a detour and moved to the rear of the Chinese military tent, quietly and slowly.
near.
The information returned by Yunxi Pavilion's spies was quite accurate. The two women who followed Dong Jun away from Sunset Ju were indeed Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling.
Yin Lihua and Deng Zhong were also old acquaintances. They heard that Deng Zhong was near Wancheng, so Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling took the initiative to find Dong Jun.
In front of Dong Jun, the two of them did not directly identify themselves, but only said that they were Deng Zhong's old friends.
Dong Jun's soldiers took a look at Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling. They both put on disguises. Xu Xiling's disguise skills were not very good, but it was no problem to disguise someone to make them look ugly.
Seeing that both of her looks were a bit unsightly, Dong Jun's soldiers didn't take them seriously at all, thinking that the two women were just here to get close. They didn't want to pay attention to them, so Yin Lihua told the soldiers two things about Deng.
Zhong told the story of his childhood embarrassment and repeatedly stated that he and Deng Zhong were indeed old acquaintances.
Hearing what she said was so conclusive that it didn't sound like she was lying, Dong Jun's soldiers felt unsure. They all discussed it and finally decided to take them to Deng Zhongjun's camp to ask for details.
If the two of them were really Deng Zhong's old friends, it would be a credit to him to bring them there. If they were lying, then they would just kill them to vent their anger.
That's it, Dong Jun took Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling to the camp of Deng Zhong's army. A soldier entered the camp and reported to Deng Zhong.
When Deng Zhong heard that two women claimed to be his old friends, he was also startled. Monk Zhang Er was confused and asked the soldier who reported the news about their appearance. The soldier described it vividly. After hearing this, Deng Zhong said,
His expression was even more confused. In his impression, he didn't know these two women at all. When he was a child, he didn't come into contact with many women. Needless to say, as an adult, all the women he came into contact with were as beautiful as flowers. How could there be such a thing?
What about ugly women?
Seeing that Deng Zhong did not recognize them, the soldier who reported the news immediately showed an angry look and said angrily: "General, I only believed it after hearing what they said was true..."
While talking, he also told Yin Lihua's story about Deng Zhong's childhood embarrassment.
He was about to resign and leave when Deng Zhong suddenly stopped him. What the soldiers said was indeed an embarrassing incident in Deng Zhong's childhood, and very few people knew about it. How could those two ugly women do it?
Do you know this?
He pondered for a moment and ordered the soldiers to bring the two women into the camp. He wanted to ask questions personally.
Not long after, the soldiers led Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling into the Chinese military tent. Deng finally took one look and was very sure that he definitely did not recognize them.
He frowned, his face gloomy, his eyes swept over Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you two? Why do you know about my childhood?"
"Can Yuan Peng lend me a moment to speak?" Yin Lihua said.
After hearing her words, Deng finally stood up involuntarily and looked at Yin Lihua in disbelief.
This voice was too familiar to him, but the owner of this voice was wrong! His body tilted forward involuntarily, staring at Yin Lihua's face, and asked in surprise: "You...are you?"
Yin Lihua said again: "Yuanpeng, lend me a step to speak!"
Deng finally came to his senses and waved to the guards in the Chinese army tent.
The guards on both sides withdrew from the camp one after another, and in the end only two of Deng Zhong's personal servants were left. Yin Lihua knew these two people, and she couldn't say they were very familiar with them, but they had met them several times. When Deng Zhong was a child, they were two of them.
People followed him.
With no outsiders present, Yin Lihua said bluntly: "Yuanpeng, I am Lihua!"
"You...you..." Deng Zhong was too surprised. He raised his finger and pointed at Yin Lihua. He didn't say anything for a while. Yin Lihua's status now is different from before. She is Liu Xiu's noble person. She should not stay here.
In the Luoyang Palace?
Why are you in Nanyang looking for me? Furthermore, how did that Yin Lihua, who is as beautiful as a fairy, become like this?
Seeing Deng Zhong's eyes as wide as copper bells, staring at her without blinking, Yin Lihua smiled and said: "Yuanpeng, the journey from Luoyang to Nanyang is too long, and now the war is in chaos, so I can only pretend to be
Only in this way can we come to Nanyang smoothly."
"Oh!" Deng Zhong nodded blankly and looked at Yin Lihua for a while before his mind gradually calmed down.
If you look carefully, the base of Yin Lihua's face is still the same as before, but the skin has become darker and has wrinkles. The eyes have also become larger and smaller due to the makeup, turning into yin and yang eyes.
Deng Zhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Lihua is dressed up like this. Don't say I can't recognize you. Even if my eldest brother comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize you!"
After a pause, he asked in confusion: "Why did Lihua suddenly come to Nanyang? But Liu Xiu is not good to you?"
After confirming that the woman in front of him was indeed Yin Lihua, Deng Zhong's first reaction was that Yin Lihua had been wronged in Luoyang, so she ran back to Nanyang to find her elder brother.
"This... it's a long story." Yin Lihua looked tired, and she looked very lack of energy.
Her physical strength was incomparable to that of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu traveled day and night to get to Nanyang and still acted like nothing was wrong, but Yin Lihua couldn't. She was already exhausted from the fatigue of traveling and traveling all the way.
Deng Zhong saw Yin Lihua's tiredness and immediately said: "Lihua must have been very tired all the way from Luoyang to Nanyang. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it later. I'll have someone prepare bath water first, and you two can go freshen up."
!”
They have known each other for too long and have been playmates since childhood. Even though Deng Zhong has become mortal enemies with Liu Xiu, and Yin Lihua is Liu Xiu's wife, it is really difficult for Deng Zhong to be hostile and repulsive towards Yin Lihua.
feel.
Deng finally ordered his men to prepare a tent for Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling, prepare bathing water in the tent, and specially arranged for several women to serve in the tent.
Of course, there was only one status for the women in Deng Zhong's military camp, that is, military prostitutes. Although it was a bit inappropriate for military prostitutes to serve Yin Lihua, Deng Zhong could not find any other women for a while.
To make a long story short, Yin Lihua and Xu Xiling freshened up in the camp, washing away the dust from running around day and night, and also washed off the makeup on their faces, revealing their original appearance.
After seeing their appearance clearly, even the military prostitutes who served them were stunned. After eating some more food in the camp and taking a short rest, the two of them returned to the central military tent.
Deng finally smiled when he saw Yin Lihua transformed back to her original appearance. He found Yin Lihua like this much more pleasing to his eyes. He happily exclaimed: "Lihua's beauty is even better than before!"
If it weren't for Liu Xiu, I'd probably have to call you sister-in-law now! Deng Zhong added in his heart. Then, he turned his eyes and looked at Xu Xiling, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Although this woman is not as beautiful as Yin Lihua, she is still a rare beauty. And unlike Yin Lihua, Xu Xiling has a bit more charm in her body. Even when she looks at people, she looks like
It's about ogling people and making them feel itchy.
He asked curiously: "Lihua, who is this?"
Yin Lihua introduced: "This is Xu Xiling and Xu Meiren. I was able to escape from Luoyang this time, thanks to Xu Meiren's help!"
Xu Xiling, Xu Meiren? She is Liu Xiu's concubine! Deng finally showed a look of realization, raised his hands to Xu Xiling and said: "It turns out to be Xu Meiren, disrespectful, disrespectful!"
Now Deng Zhong was a little confused. If Lihua had an quarrel with Liu Xiu and was wronged, and ran back to Nanyang angrily, he could still understand. Why, could it be that this Xu Meiren also had a quarrel with Liu Xiu and was wronged?
He took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, looked at Yin Lihua, and asked seriously: "Lihua, why did you suddenly return to Nanyang?"
Yin Lihua said calmly: "I want to see Yuan Zhi!"
Deng finally asked in confusion: "Why does Lihua want to see my eldest brother?"
Yin Lihua frowned slightly and said: "How could Yuan Zhi betray the imperial court and raise an army to rebel? What Yuan Zhi did this time was really too confused. I'm going to persuade him to surrender to the imperial court again."
Hearing this, Deng Zhong's eyes dimmed for a moment. It turned out that Lihua did not run back to Nanyang in anger, but came to work as a lobbyist for Liu Xiu. He asked: "Lihua returned to Nanyang this time, but what did Liu Xiu mean?"
?”
Yin Lihua said seriously: "I came here secretly! Your Majesty doesn't know!"
Deng Zhi stared at Yin Lihua for a moment, and his slightly gloomy face recovered a little. He sighed and said: "Lihua, do you know what the Luoyang army did after they entered Nanyang? They burned, killed, looted, committed all kinds of evil, and killed innocent people indiscriminately.
, people and gods are outraged! What’s even more hateful is that the Luoyang army actually massacred Xinye! That’s Xinye, Lihua, that’s our hometown!”
Yin Lihua, Deng Zhong, and Deng Feng are all new savages.
Yin Lihua lowered her head, her eyes were wet and red, and she murmured: "Your Majesty should not be responsible for the mistakes made by Da Sima."
Deng Zhong shook his head and said: "Lihua, you are wrong. Who appointed Wu Han as the general? Liu Xiu! Who sent Wu Han to lead the army to Nanyang? Or Liu Xiu! He Liu Xiu is not the culprit.
Who is the culprit?
"Lihua, for a villain and hypocrite like Liu Xiu, don't come back to him again, let alone speak for him in front of me and my eldest brother! My eldest brother and I have no sworn relationship with Liu Xiu. The hatred of Xinye,
My eldest brother and I will definitely repay the revenge of Nanyang and give justice to the people of Nanyang and the folks of Xinye!"
"Yuan Peng..." Yin Lihua wanted to speak, but Deng Zhong waved his hand, planning her next words, and said: "If Lihua comes to Nanyang this time just to persuade her eldest brother and me to surrender to Liu Xiu, then Lihua will probably run away in vain.
We have gone there, brother and I will definitely not surrender, but will fight to the death with Liu Xiu!"
"Yuan Peng, I don't want anything to happen to Yuan Zhi and you!"
"Haha!" Deng Zhong looked up and smiled, opened his arms and said: "Now, the eldest brother has no less than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. Dong, Qin Feng and Yancen all follow the lead of the eldest brother. If this battle continues, who will lose?"
It’s not certain who will win!”
In terms of military strength, Liu Xiu indeed has many soldiers and generals, with hundreds of thousands of troops. But the problem is that Liu Xiu is now fighting on multiple fronts. He divides his troops to fight against the Red Eyebrow Army, while he divides his troops to guard against Liu Yong. The remaining
The troops are only in Nanyang.
Wu Han's army is now surrounded, and Luoyang has no troops to send at all. To put it bluntly, Wu Han's army has become an isolated army. In this battle, our own victory is in sight. As long as Wu Han's troops are eliminated, not only will Liu Xiu's morale be greatly reduced, but Luoyang will also be damaged.
All are in danger.
Seeing that Deng Zhong was resolute and she could not persuade him, Yin Lihua did not force her and said, "I want to see Yuan Zhi!"
Deng Zhong shook his head and said: "It's useless for Lihua to see my eldest brother. My eldest brother will never change his mind!"
Xu Xiling suddenly said: "General Yuan Peng is not the general of Yuan, so how can he make the decision on behalf of the general of Yuan?" yyls
Hearing this, Deng Zhong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Xiling with a sinister look.
He has feelings for Yin Lihua, but he has no feelings for Xu Xiling. In his eyes, Yin Lihua is not only Liu Xiu's Yin noble, but also his friend and his childhood sweetheart, while Xu Xiling is just Liu Xiu's woman.
