Jincheng flower hour

Liu Hong has the habit of practicing martial arts, so he always gets up early. Not long after the cook brought the food into the tent, Liu Hong sat up from the table, shirtless and covered with a thin quilt.

He was young, full of energy, and there was no trace of weariness on his face.

The big tent of the two people stared at each other, and the happy scene last night seemed to be still in front of them.Zhuang Yang was composed, and Liu Hong looked at Zhuang Yang with deep affection.

Liu Hong put on his clothes, shorts and trousers, and a shirt and shirt. Zhuang Yang watched from the side, and when Liu Hong was about to tie his belt, he tried to move his body.Zhuang Yang has a leg injury and has limited mobility, as well as the discomfort left over from last night.

"Erlang, don't move."

Liu Hong opened his toga, and hurried over to hug Zhuang Yang. The way he hugged him was too intimate, and half of Zhuang Yang's body was pressed against Liu Hong's chest.Zhuang Yang whispered: "Put me down, you bring the belt and armor to my side."

Liu Hong didn't put Zhuang Yang down immediately, but whispered something in Zhuang Yang's ear. Zhuang Yang seemed unwilling to answer, but said, "Go get it." Liu Hong was infatuated and kissed Zhuang Yang's neck. After taking a sip, he was willing to put down Zhuang Yang, and went to get his belt and armor.

When Zhuang Yang picked up the belt, his eyes would naturally fall on the copper belt hook sewn on the belt, which was the token exchanged between him and Liu Hong.This piece with a hook is in the shape of a swan bird. It is not gilded or silver, plain but elegant.Come to think of it, Liu Hong has been wearing it.

Help Liu Hong tidy up the neckline, tie the belt, pull the body of the robe, wrap the belt around it, and fasten it with the belt hook.Liu Hong's fingers on both hands were injured, and it was inconvenient to tie objects.

The heavy armor is leather-lined and decorated with iron armor pieces, one is armor and the other is helmet.They are exquisitely made and solid, but they are too heavy, and Zhuang Yang can't move them with one hand.

There are countless red ropes on the armor coat for tying. Liu Hong puts on the armor coat, and Zhuang Yang helps tie the knots.Liu Hong sat obediently, watching Zhuang Yang lower his head and busy on him, the corners of his mouth gradually widened, and he smiled a little silly.

After Zhuang Yang tied all the ropes, he looked up and saw the smile on Liu Hong's face, thinking that his care might remind Liu Hong of something.In Liu Hong's tent, there was no maid, he was not close to women, and when he wanted to have sex with his finger, he hurt his finger, so he must have called the attendant to help him tie it up.

Help Liu Hong get dressed, and the two of them go to the court for dinner, Zhuang Yang eats less, and Liu Hong eats a lot.Zhuang Yang remembered that Liu Hong had caught up with him when he was 15 years old. Now, Zhuang Yang's height only reaches Liu Hong's ears.

Not only the size, but people and things have also changed after these years. The only thing that remains the same is that they still like each other.

Before the case, Liu Hong told Zhuang Yang what he needed to do today. Obviously, he couldn't accompany Zhuang Yang, and he might not be able to come back until night.

There is no need to fight today, but tomorrow afternoon, Jinguan City will be attacked. Liu Hong needs to go to inspect the barracks, check the sword armor and siege weapons, and also has to go to his father's tent to discuss matters.

Zhuang Yang knows what will happen tomorrow. He has been in the Han army for two days, and he is very worried about his family. Although the spies have news about the dealer, Zhuang Yang needs to meet his family in person to be at ease.

After sending Liu Hong out of the tent, Zhuang Yang stayed alone in the tent. He organized Liu Hong's belongings and read the military map before Liu Hong's case.

On this day, Zhuang Yang was alone in the tent. In fact, he really wanted to go out to see the soldiers' drills, and also wanted to hear about the deployment of the army tomorrow.But Zhuang Yang knew that he tried to avoid attracting attention.

At noon, Zhuang Yang heard the sound of cavalry galloping outside the tent. He limped to the door of the tent and looked out.He saw Liu Hong riding through the camp.From Zhou Jing's side, Zhuang Yang knew that Liu Hong was loved by the soldiers. When he fought, he always took the lead in fighting.Moreover, Liu Hong was brave and good at surprise attacks. In several battles, Liu Hong and his cavalry team played a role in deciding the outcome.

In front of Zhuang Yang, Liu Hong is still the Liu Hong he is familiar with, but he has actually grown into an outstanding general.

Watching Liu Hong lead the cavalry away, Zhuang Yang thought what mission he might be going to perform?

Even knowing that Ah Hong is brave and good at fighting, Zhuang Yang is still worried, should he be thankful?When Liu Hong fought fiercely in Longxi, he did not accompany him, otherwise he would stay up day and night, worrying about his safety without thinking about food and drink.

Seeing a familiar figure walking towards him, Zhuang Yang endured the pain and stood up straight to salute. This person is Huo Yuqi, the counselor of the King of Han, and the teacher who taught Liu Hong the art of war.

"Erlang, there is no need to be polite."

Huo Yuqi returned the gift.

Huo Sheng knew that Zhuang Yang was taken as a hostage in exchange for Wei Jia, and he also knew that Zhuang Yang had been living in Liu Hong's tent for the past two days.

He is a noble Confucian scholar, and ordinary people can't catch his eyes, but he appreciates Zhuang Yang very much, so he came over after seeing Zhuang Yang from a distance.

Huo Sheng didn't know Zhuang Yang well, so he only asked about Zhuang Yang's injury and exchanged pleasantries.

While the two were talking, they suddenly saw a boy coming and called Huo Sheng: Sir.

There are not many little boys in the barracks, let alone gorgeously dressed and modest manners.Zhuang Yang remembered that Liu Hong had said that he had a younger brother, and this person should be him.

Trotting over without a problem, he obviously didn't notice that Zhuang Yang was there at first, but when he approached and saw Zhuang Yang, he immediately bowed respectfully, which is quite special.

"The young master has no illness, and has seen Zhuang Sheng."

Zhuang Yang thought he knew him, but it was indeed the first time he had seen him.

"Young master, this great gift is not acceptable."

Zhuang Yang supported Wuji, the child still had a childish face, but he also knew how to be a corporal.

Wuji is very curious about Zhuang Yang. He has a good relationship with his elder brother. Sometimes when his elder brother mentions his hard life in the early years, he must talk about Zhuangjia Erlang. In the past, Wuji was curious about what kind of person this Zhuangjia Erlang was.

Wuji didn't see Zhuang Yang until yesterday, when Zhuang Yang fell into a coma, Wuji only thought that this man was really good-looking and very young.

"Sir, where is my brother going?"

Wuji saw Liu Hong leading the troops away, so he didn't make time to ask.

"Jie Shu's soldiers have heavy supplies, and they will come back at night."

Huo Yuqi knew every move in the army like the back of his hand, and he participated in the formulation of many actions.

Hearing this, Wuji seemed a little worried, but he didn't say anything, and stood beside Huo Yuqi like a disciple.

Zhuang Yang's leg injury made it difficult for him to stand upright. When he exerted his strength, blood flowed from the wrapped cloth strips. Wuji noticed it first, and he said to Zhuang Yang: "Zhuang Sheng is injured, don't stand still, I'll let the guards Bring me a mat."

This person is the elder brother's great benefactor, and the elder brother cares about him very much, Wuji is still young, so he didn't think much about it.

"Thank you sir."

Zhuang Yang expressed his thanks, Wuji's kindness, he couldn't refuse.

The guard quickly fetched the mat and helped Zhuang Yang to sit down. Huo Yuqi and Wuji were also sitting beside him.Zhuang Yang quietly listened to the conversation between Huo Sheng and Wuji, but he himself didn't say much.Obviously, Huo Sheng is not only Liu Hong's master, but also teaches Wuji at the same time. This is intriguing. The two young masters share the same master.

Wuji's literary style is not at all like Liu Hong's aggressive appearance when he was a child, but although he is young, he speaks earnestly and treats people kindly, so he will be an outstanding person when he grows up.

Seeing Wuji, Zhuang Yang thought of his younger brother Zhuang Ping for some reason.Ah Ping doesn't know how he is doing these past few days, but his family is doing well, which is really worrying.

Since Zhuang Yang was taken away by Shu soldiers, the Zhuang family has been trying to rescue Zhuang Yang. Two friends of Zhuang Yang, Qin Shuzuo and Zhang Yushi, also participated in the running and calling for help. They also wrote to the county guard with the students of the county school, asking for release. Zhuang Yang.

Zhuang Yang had been a petty official in Jinguan City for two terms, so he was not a person of status.But he is popular and loved by the students, not to mention that he was arrested and imprisoned without any crime.The literati may not care so much about the arrest of merchants and ordinary people, but they will have opinions if they arrest innocent literati.

After receiving letters from the students, the sheriff felt that it was a trivial matter and ignored it.

The scribes, who had already had objections to the general guarding the county, made a noise and protested outside the county mansion.

Not to mention that Wei Shuai arrested the person, but even the robbers. The county guard also felt that the students were messing around, so he arrested the scholars who wrote the letter to make trouble, and locked them up for a few days before talking.

The literati were indignant, and they could make trouble with their pens, but they were not very capable, and they were quiet after two days of confinement.

On the dealer's side, Zhuang Ping has been running around with Qin Shuzuo and other elder brother's literary friends. Even if Zhuang Bing is seriously injured, he sticks his stick and goes out to meet with merchants and secretly discuss matters.In Jinguan City, everyone is in danger, and people from all walks of life are no longer willing to sit still and wait for death.

There are so many innocent people who have been arrested, they can be arrested if they want to be arrested, locked up if they want to be locked up, and killed if they want to kill, and there are many complaints.

At this time, Zhuang Lan is the one who takes care of the old and the young at home.

In the early morning of the second day when Zhuang Yang was taken away, Zhuang Lan cut her long hair short, tied it up like a man, and wore Zhuang Ping's clothes, looking heroic like a man.

She disguised herself, went out to buy medicine for her mother, and bartered with her neighbors. Because she was a woman, she didn't go out much on weekdays. People thought the dealer had such a young son.

At night, when Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Bing returned home, they were shocked to see Zhuang Lan entering the courtyard with a dagger in her hand, carrying a basket of vegetables and melons.

"There are a lot of villains outside, and when they see a woman, they think they are easy to bully, so I..."

Zhuang Lan put down the basket, patted the dust off her trousers, and acted rudely.

"Go and wash your face, don't let Grandma know that you cut your hair."

Zhuang Bing didn't blame Zhuang Lan, but patted Zhuang Lan on the head instead.

In order to pretend to be a rude man, Zhuang Lan deliberately blackened her face.

"Well, brother, I see."

Zhuang Lan nodded, the eldest brother was afraid that his mother would be sad if she found out.

"Alan, are these my clothes?"

Zhuang Ping was quite helpless, and found that his trousers had been cut short on his younger sister.His sister is really a bit shocking, no wonder Zhang Changsheng from Linqiong called her Brother Lan.

"Here, I picked old clothes and shortened them."

Zhuang Lan was a little embarrassed at this moment, and she didn't tell him about it before she changed A Ping's clothes.

That night, the whole family got together, Zhuang Ping talked about the arrest of scribes, Zhuang Bing talked about some merchants communicating with the Han army, and Zhuang Lan talked about the fact that the Han army’s proclamation was posted everywhere, and many people said that if the Han army entered the city, , life will get better.

However, none of these could save Zhuang Yang, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhuang family spent another night of worry.

Two days later, it was rumored that Wei Shuai rescued Wei Jia who was captured by the Han army, and Wei Shuai used Zhuang Yang to exchange hostages with the Han army. Zhuang Yang had fled to the Han army.

This incident sounds unimaginable to outsiders, but to the Zhuang family, it is excellent news. Undoubtedly, Liu Hong saved Zhuang Yang.

As for how powerful Wei Shuai is, it is not important to know that Zhuang Yang and Liu Hong, the son of the King of Han, are close friends.

As the days passed, life in Jinguan City remained chaotic.Until one afternoon, people rushed to tell each other that the Han army attacked the city on a large scale.

The battle lasted from noon until late at night, and many people stayed up all night, waiting for news.They either had relatives who were dragged into the Shu army, worried about the life and death of their husbands and sons; or they were afraid that after the Shu army was defeated, the Han army would plunder and kill them when they entered the city.

That night, Zhuang's family also stayed in the hall. Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Bing carried bows and arrows, and Zhuang Lan carried a knife. They were on guard.

Once the Shu soldiers are defeated, whether they are Shu soldiers or Han soldiers, they may plunder the people.Shu soldiers would even plunder the young men and money during their retreat.The people of Shu experienced terrible wars more than ten years ago, and they have seen similar things.

That night, the city was full of flames, and the sound of fighting seemed distant and near, and it didn't stop until early morning.

In the middle of the night, Lin Qiang and Dachun's wife had already laid down with their children in their arms, and Xijuan lay beside the couch to take care of Zhuang's mother, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhuang Ping and Zhuang Bing pricked up their ears, they felt the sound of horseshoes approaching and clearly.

"Come closer."

Zhuang Lan reminded in a low voice, and extinguished the oil lamp in the hall.

At this time, each of them held their weapons and held their breath. Ah Yi didn't have any exclusive bows and knives, but carried a blunt knife for chopping wood.

The clatter of horseshoes resounded through the night, as if a large horse was approaching. Finally, they stopped at the door of the dealer, and the sound of horses whistled and people's voices were noisy.No, there was a loud knock on the door.

Ah Yi was timid and afraid to go forward, Zhuang Bing stopped Zhuang Ping, and went to open the door in person. Under the night, they saw a general on horseback, who was familiar to them.
