Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

The night was dark, torches were shining, the city gate that should have been closed was ajar, and a grain truck quietly drove in.

"Come and help me!"

The deliberately lowered voice could not conceal the joy inside.

The tiny footsteps were mixed with laughter, and even jokingly guessing when the next food delivery would be.

There was not much food, but for the soldiers in Pingzhou City who had been without food for a long time, what was delivered was not just a few carts of food, but gave the people in desperate situations some hope and rekindled a sense of hope for life.

The supply of grain and grass was delayed again and again. I once thought that the people they risked their lives to defend coaxed them to fight the enemy with their flesh and blood again and again, but they didn't care about their life and death at all, and were not even willing to provide food and grass.

I drew one cake after another, almost thinking that I couldn't wait... Now, I didn't have any hope, but I really let them wait and see it.

It turns out that they were not abandoned, nor were they left to fend for themselves.

The fire was so bright that a small, warm flame ignited in people's eyes.

Xiao Wu couldn't stop and kept busy.

Liang Huan watched from the side, and her heart became excited.

pity--

She sighed silently and turned her eyes away, looking into the melting night.

Under the sleeve, Lu Xiu took her hand.

Their eyes met, but for a moment, he already understood that it was good to make them happy.

Lu Xiu held her hand and walked to her residence: "When were you ready?"

Liang Huan looked at him and smiled slightly: "When I was in Jinye at the beginning of the year, I made an agreement with Song Tan to open several new shops in the prefectures and counties near the front line to prepare for emergencies. Unfortunately, it was only a drop in the bucket. After all, these two years Food is particularly scarce.”

Lu Xiu turned his face and looked at her: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

In the night, his eyes were gentle, not the light of stars, but the halo of the moon.

Liang Huan said honestly: "It was there at first, but now it's gone."

Lu Xiu stopped: "Why?"

Liang Huan faced him, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Before I came to Pingzhou City, I only heard them say that rumors were spreading and the morale of the army was unstable. But from the beginning of entering the city to just now, I didn't see any soldiers being dissatisfied with you. It is an act of disrespect, but it is quite respectful and protective.”

"You know, this is not Jinye. They are not the sycophants and flatterers of the past. They are all people who actually go to the battlefield with their heads in their hands. Pingzhou City is now on the line of life and death. Under the situation of shortage of food and grass and rumors of defeat, How could they sincerely obey you and obey your orders just because you are of noble birth?"

Lu Xiu didn't say anything, but just watched and listened quietly. She used to always speak half-truths and half-falsehoods to him. It was very rare for her to be so real and without any purpose like today.

In his direct gaze, Liang Huan added: "To be able to listen to your orders and not be impatient or chaotic in such a difficult situation shows that they sincerely recognize and support you. But to be able to gain the sincerity and sincerity of so many people , you will definitely have to pay an unimaginable price.”

"In normal times, people can still pretend, but on the battlefield, you can't pretend with real swords and guns. You eat and live with them, and go through life and death together, after all, you will see the people's hearts over time."

She sighed softly: "They believed you and listened to you, and never betrayed you. How can you give up on them?"

The moonlight is hazy and the eyes are like autumn water, which is extremely beautiful.

Lu Xiu raised his hand and gently stroked her brow with his fingertips. She didn't know that it was her eyes that impressed him the most.

He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her eyelids.

Liang Huan's eyes were sore.

On the way here, she didn't understand why she persisted? I don’t even understand the meaning of persistence, but now——

She took a slow breath and held back her tears.

The more than half a year of fighting in the north and south, wandering here and there, only hardened his face.

Lu Xiu shouldn't be like this.

Liang Huan gritted his teeth: "Do you know——"

The unfinished words were sealed by him with a kiss.

A very brief, light kiss, without any desire, just to block what she wanted to say.

Lu Xiu took her hand and moved forward slowly.

Because of these living lives, he did not obey the instructions of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. What would be the end of a disobedient craftsman waiting for him?

But Daqi never really tolerated him.

His steps were slow and leisurely, and his faint voice spoke beside him: "I didn't know my life experience until they came to me seven years ago."

Seven years ago?

That was only the age of Wu Shao, which means that from that time on, he started working for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Why don't you ask the Grand Master——"

Liang Huan stopped talking midway through the question. Suddenly she knew that the person who raised her was an enemy. This subverted her previous understanding. Who should she believe at that moment?

"You want to say ask them, or ask them for help?"

Lu Xiu smiled and shook his head: "I didn't believe anyone. In order to find out the whole story, I agreed to them. Of course, I had no choice but to refuse at that time."

"During the investigation, she was still alarmed. She——"

Lu Xiu paused: "Queen Mother."

After that, continue walking forward.

"She knew that I knew my identity, so she confessed to me."

The eldest sister and father who had been called my eldest sister and father for more than ten years suddenly became mother and father-in-law...

"Although the affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are not stated clearly, they are not ignorant."

Liang Huan's heart ached faintly. They knew clearly that Northern Zhou Dynasty was looking for Lu Xiu, but they did not stop him. They even acquiesced. How could they not be taking advantage of him?

After more than ten years of peace and quiet, why did they suddenly come to the door? How did they know about Lu Xiu's existence?

She had always had a bold guess in her mind. What if someone from the Lu family deliberately leaked Lu Xiu's identity?

The Lu family gave him an honorable position, which seemed to confuse the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but in fact they did not give him real power and were wary of him. How can it not be a good calculation for self-interest?

Just walking by the river often, it is inevitable that his shoes will get wet. Once Northern Zhou found out that his stance was wrong, how could he let it go so easily.

First, Zhang Yao reported on Lu Xiu, then Lou presented a letter of collaboration with the enemy, then forged a blood letter from Lu Huai, and finally found out Lu Xiu's life experience. On the surface, it seemed to be just an internal conflict within the Qi, but behind certain links, The guidance of Northern Zhou Dynasty is indispensable.

On that day, the blood certificate was verified to be fake. Wang Tingyue asked her what her plans were.

In fact, her plan never changed.

Even if you know that the blood letter is fake, it is useless. Everything about collaboration with the enemy and identity is true.

What's more, the purpose of Lu Huai's death was not in the court, but in the war.

After all, Qi not only lost a general, but also implicated the coach, and was even more unsettled by rumors written in blood.

The soldiers under Lu Xiu's tent were not affected much, but this does not mean that others did not react.

Listen to what the fleeing people have to say, and then look at Lou Shixun who was sent.

I have to say it's a good strategy.

What can Lu Xiu do?

Surrendering openly is a traitor to the country. In view of his previous behavior, the Northern Zhou Dynasty may not be willing to believe him. Lu gave up on him in order to save herself. It is impossible to bring troops to fight back to Jinye. Not to mention the problem of food and grass supply, even the morale of the army will not be unified. Fighting against the Northern Zhou Dynasty is to defend against the enemy, which is justified and reasonable; fighting against Jinye is rebellion, and it is a traitor and traitor. People get it and kill it. No chance of winning.

Leave the city and soldiers behind, run away alone, and hide for the rest of your life?

Lu Xiu couldn't do it, and he wouldn't know how to do it.

What does it mean to be in a dilemma and besieged on all sides?

It seemed that there was really no other choice but to die.

Therefore, he was prepared to defend Pingzhou and die in the city.

Liang Huan turned to look at him and squeezed his hand.

Even if he died, he could only die in her hands.

I’m writing, I’m really writing o(╥﹏╥)o
