On April [-]th, Liu Xiu led his troops to defeat Liu Yan's offensive.

On the third day of May, Liu Yan fought back.

On May 21, Wu Han ambushed Liu Yan's flank, and Geng Yan burned his grain road.

June thirteenth.

Cai Xuning rode a horse and looked at the two armies who were already red-eyed, but felt a sense of dust settled.

Bloody smell.

remains.

roar.

Bing Ge iron horse.

Although compared to ordinary battles, this time is less dangerous than others, but it cannot be taken lightly.

No one sees war as child's play.

No one will admit defeat until the last moment.

June fourteenth, night.

The big tent of the Han army was brightly lit.

Looking forward to it.

Liu Yan lost.

When Cai Xuning watched him being escorted in by the embarrassment, the random mission that had been silent for a long time suddenly lit up.

[Random task [-]: Phase [-] task has been completed]

[Unlock Reward [-]]

[Unlock the progress bar of the main task [-] and [-]]

Cai Xuning was slightly stunned, he almost forgot about this random task.

He subconsciously glanced at the taskbar.

[Random task twelve: The world is in turmoil, please help Liu Xiu to calm the world, overcome the obstacles between the north and the south, ascend the throne, and bring order out of chaos! 】

[This task is a subsidiary task of the main task [-]]

[Unlock Reward [-]]

[Reward 10: Historical Fragment x[-]]

[Unlock Reward [-]]

[Unlock the progress bar of the main task [-] and [-]]

【award:? ? ? 】

Still short of the last progress.

Cai Xuning breathed a sigh of relief, and did not pay attention to the content of the reward for the time being, but watched this somewhat strange meeting.

The two brothers of the Liu family were indeed fighting to the death, so weird that one would think that they had a life-and-death feud, but after everything was over, Liu Xiu walked down the steps herself and helped up his brother who was kneeling on the ground.

If it doesn't reach this point, Liu Yan won't be convinced.

Even more.

But those possible paranoid thoughts were killed by Cai Xuning early on, leaving only this possibility.

And the development leading to it, as he expected.

...

In August, Liu Xiu ascended the throne in Chang'an and gave amnesty to the world.

Cai Xuning watched him proclaim himself emperor for the second time. Although in Chang'an, which was somewhat desolate and dilapidated, he was already the overlord of the world, completely different from his downcast appearance at the beginning.

The barrage is well said.

There seemed to be a delicate atmosphere between Cai Xuning and Liu Xiu.

Naturally, they would not engage in such irrational behavior as arguing, but for a whole few months, the barrage has not enjoyed the treatment of a black screen again, is this fucking reasonable?

Cai Xuning: "..."

He never expected that the barrage would choose such a tricky entry point.

He and Liu Xiu...

Ok.

If we're being honest, there's something a little bit wrong with them.

As Cai Xuning said, the war must have been the most important thing at that time.

After Liu Xiu left the camp that day, they each calmed down for a few days, and there was almost no time to talk about these matters. Liu Xiu's parents led the troops, and Cai Xuning was sitting in the rear.

Coordinate the overall situation and dispatch the army.

Each has things to do, and there is no time to think about them.

When everything is settled, the time has come to August and September.

They even stood under the altar, watching the scene of Liu Xiu ascending the throne, as if nothing had happened.

After the enthronement ceremony is over, it will naturally be a lively and festive feast.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Cai Xuning walked to the side holding his wine glass.Originally, according to the etiquette, one should not walk around randomly, but in such a joyous day, there is not much restraint.

"Ask if I can make up?"

Cai Xuning chuckled lightly.

"This isn't a quarrel." He took a sip of the cold wine, "For Axiu, if she stayed away from me before, her desire to destroy would be lower."

【Studio】

[ID Listening: So you found out? ]

[ID Mu Xiansen: I thought you were really dull]

[ID Niaoya: There are also serious things, after all, it happened to be the most important battle at that time]

[ID Digital Jun: So you still know the dark side of Liu Xiu...]

[ID Rijindoujin: He should know better than any of us, right? ]

Cai Xuning frowned slightly.

Axiu is indeed sometimes difficult to see through.

But sometimes, it is easy to guess.

He silently looked at Hu Xu who followed him unknowingly, and said quietly, "Don't you think there are too many people around me recently?"

Normally, Hu Xu shouldn't have entered the palace either.

But he unexpectedly mixed up with the guards in the palace and entered easily.The other ministers may have seen it, or they may not care about an ordinary attendant at all, and no one said anything.

Hu Xu said calmly, "Da Sikong, this is His Majesty's request."

Cai Xuning was helpless: "At least I won't break my neck while riding a horse, and I won't sprain my feet just because I went down the steps. There's no need to take care of everything like this. Don't you think it's a bit scary?"

Hu Xu was slightly stunned: "Does Da Sikong feel scary?"

The word "horror" was casually mentioned by Cai Xuning and he didn't pay attention to it, but when Hu Xu mentioned it, Cai Xuning fell into deep thought.

Cai Xuning pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Isn't it scary in terms of facts? I eat three meals a day, no matter what I do or where I go, even if I meet privately, bring guards, and give gifts to the servants inside and outside the residence. , including you, all of them are eyeliners. As far as a serious situation is concerned, this is indeed a horror."

Hu Xu thought about what Da Sikong said just now, and suddenly his hair stood on end.

To a certain extent, Da Sikong was right.It's as if there are glued eyeballs in the room all the time staring at it all the time, thinking about it is horrifying, and the hairs stand on end.

"If Da Sikong doesn't like it..."

Hu Xu couldn't help but say something.

This is actually his character, but after being adjusted and taught by Liu Xiu, this possibility was basically eliminated.

Cai Xuning took another sip of the wine, and said lightly: "If he likes it, let him go. I'll just bear with it." Although sometimes it does feel uncomfortable to be spied on privately, it's really not something that can't be tolerated.

Axiu was uneasy about this matter, but Cai Xuning couldn't think of any other way to appease him, he simply thought it was appropriate, so that's it.

Cai Xuning finished the glass of wine slowly.

It's a pity that he was discovered by others when he was talking to Hu Xu.Among the generals, there were not a few people who watched him pour alcohol. Cai Xuning blocked from left to right, but he still couldn't stop the group of passionate bullies.

Mare Falk.

Wine is really that good? !

"Axu..."

While eating the wine, Cai Xuning couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Why does he feel as if someone is calling him, but except for Liu Xiu, no one should dare to call him that.

"I will not eat……"

Before the syllable of wine was uttered, Cai Xuning heard it clearly again.

"Asu—"

Cai Xuning paused.

He looked up at the hall, where Liu Xiu was sitting lazily at the top.He said he was lazy because Cai Xuning hadn't seen his expression for a long time.It's as if the whole person has relaxed, and the tense feeling is no longer there. It's like the majestic and beautiful beast that has always been quiet, crouching in his domain, silently and peacefully appreciating.

Liu Xiu was leaning on it with one hand and the wine jar in the other. He looked like he had just had a drink, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

He turned his head to look at Cai Xuning.

It was indeed calling him.

The hall was so noisy, there were not many people who heard Liu Xiu's words, but there were not a few.

Cai Xuning ignored those whispers, turned around and said to Geng Yan, Wu Han and the others: "Let's keep the wine for you to eat, and I'll get together some other day later, let's forget about today."

He stuffed the wine cup to Hu Xu.

Climbing up the stairs, he walked slowly to Liu Xiu's table.

He smiled: "I heard you are angry with me?"

Liu Xiu pulled him to sit down, and said lazily: "Are you listening to someone talking nonsense again, Hu Xu? Just drag him out and kill him."

Cai Xuning:?

Hu Xu underneath suddenly trembled for some reason.

"It has nothing to do with him." Cai Xuning shook his head and smiled, he didn't want to give Hu Xu any further hatred.

Liu Xiu looked towards Cai Xuning's front left, and said flatly, "If it's not Hu Xu, then it's you."

The other side of the live broadcast room noticed that Liu Xiu said "you".

That's talking to them directly.

Cai Xuning burst out laughing.

Liu Xiu's faint murderous intent was indeed not fake, but after all, separated by a screen, it looked like people in the window provoking each other through the window, no matter how they moved, it would not affect the opposite side.

It's like a barrage of words.

Could it be possible to crawl along the network cable and kill people?

Cai Xuning said, "Axiu, how do you feel?"

He asked this question without thinking, but Liu Xiu understood what he was talking about.

"I don't feel anything."

He said lightly.

The Liu family naturally attended today's banquet.

After the battle, the two families became one family again.What should be sealed, what should be added, although the relationship in the hall is not very harmonious now, but after all, it is slowly integrated.

It's just that after Cai Xuning came up, he could occasionally feel the sight of the bottom.

Ok.

Liu Yan's gaze was still a little hot.

Cai Xuning said, "No sense of reality?"

"Compared to the fact that I don't have a sense of reality, I don't think there is much difference from before." Liu Xiu said calmly, "Whether it is in the past or now, it's just that the area governed has become larger and the number of people governed has increased, so it takes trouble. things have changed..."

Cai Xuning was so happy that he couldn't even see his eyes.

"Haven't you thought about it a lot?"

【Studio】

[ID Doudou: Hahahahaha in the phrase]

[ID becomes an enterprise: directly punctured a false impression]

[ID Chunyan: I still want to save a little face for others, right? ]

[ID Honest Xiaolangjun: Hahahahahahaha "Have you thought about it a lot?" It makes sense]

Liu Xiu touched her face, and said, "Ah Xu's words also make sense."

He looked at Cai Xuning and laughed too.

【Studio】

[ID Chacup: Touching your face is Axu's habit!Eating the other party's saliva too much? ]

[ID Bei Zhi:? ?In other words, getting along a lot, can't you learn the other person's habits? ]

[ID Hi Maomao: Huh! ]

[ID is not crazy, not alive: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha]

Cai Xuning: "..."

Just this casual glance made Cai Xuning shake his head.

Liu Xiu's fingers touched his hand.

In public, Liu Xiu has always been passionate and polite.

Very well behaved.

Even when he was called to come up just now, the two of them actually did not do anything they shouldn't do, they just sat on a seat.

Cai Xuning looked at Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said softly: "Even if I'm here, will Ah Xu's attention still be attracted by them?"

Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows.

His hand also touched Liu Xiu's.

Cai Xuning said: "They are talking about the habits between me and you, it seems that we are becoming more and more assimilated."

I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Is that something bad?" Liu Xiu made an inch of it, and stretched out her finger to hook Cai Xuning's.

It's just that this kind of behavior is hidden under the loose robes, and no one can see their subtle and ambiguous movements.

Cai Xuning smiled.

"Too."

...

When they were talking in a low voice, there were actually quite a few people watching them below.

Liu Boji is one of them.

Naturally, there are rules for the seats at the banquet in the palace.

It's just that it's so lively now that there are no rules, but there are not many rules.

Right now, Liu Boji is standing with her third brother.

It is said that it is the third brother, but it is actually Liu Xu.

Liu Yan was already drunk, and Liu Zhong was watching him, lest he get into trouble with others after drinking.After all, Liu Yan's temper after drinking is not very good, and it would be a bit troublesome if he got into trouble.

Liu Boji said with a smile: "Brother ate a lot tonight. I think he is happy, but he is not happy."

Earlier, Liu Xiu and Liu Yan had a lot of wine together.

Liu Yan was already drunk, but Liu Xiu looked okay.

But Liu Boji was still a little worried.

So she naturally also saw the process of that Mr. Cai going to Liu Xiu's side.

"It doesn't matter if the elder brother is drunk, everything will be normal when he wakes up tomorrow."

Liu Xu looked very calm. Although he held the wine cup in his hand, he didn't take a few bites.

He doesn't really like alcohol.

If it wasn't for the sake of being with the elder brother, he basically wouldn't drink at all.

Holding the wine cup now is just for show.

"Third brother, do you know that Mr. Cai?"

Liu Boji's voice is clear and crisp, even though she is already the mother of a child, she still has a girlish air, with a heroic look between her brows, just like she was back then.

"know."

Liu Xu said silently.

He even met him personally, and saw how his elder brother was about to do it.

That time Liu Yan was really about to get angry.

It's just that I finally endured it.

Liu Boji frowned: "Then, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Her beautiful eyes quietly fell on her elder brother and Cai Xuning.

The two of them just sat quietly in one place and whispered, and didn't make any ambiguous movements. There was also a little distance between the two of them, and they weren't so close that they couldn't be separated, but that should be the most common thing. The picture, but inexplicably makes people look a little shy.

Liu Boji didn't know how to describe that feeling.

So many years... She and her brother haven't seen each other for so long.

She just didn't expect that he would show such a relaxed expression.

"It's hard to describe."

Liu Xu showed an expression that he didn't know how to explain, and said with some distress: "He is a difficult person, and he has an inexplicable obsession with Uncle Wen. In the early years, I didn't have much contact with him, just I heard from your elder brother that he was the one who gave Uncle Wen a few hundred gold inexplicably at that time. It’s very strange..."

Liu Boji's eyes moved slightly, revealing a little smile.

She turned her head to look at her husband a few times, then turned her head to look at the two lovers who were still talking about themselves, and said softly: "That's pretty good."

Although Liu Boji didn't know what happened, she could see Deng Chen's negativity since the end of the battle.

And why did my sister Liu Huang die inexplicably.

This matter is like dew disappearing under the morning sun, and there is no trace of it anymore.

She said: "Brother has worked so hard all these years, and it's good to have a confidant."

Liu Xu sighed and shook his head.

"I can trust Cai Xuning's character. It's just that he is good in every way except one thing."

"He is not a daughter." Liu Boji said lightly, "Is this matter important?"

She scanned the situation in the hall.

In fact, the reception at the banquet should have been separated for men and women, but because His Majesty Liu Xiu didn't have anyone close by to serve him, not even a concubine.Naturally, there is no one who can host the banquet, and because there are few female relatives who can attend the banquet, they simply gather together.

As for the management of this matter, Liu Boji was also involved in a large part of it, so he naturally knew the rumors in it.

"Even if brother and Mr. Cai are sitting together now, no one dares to say something?"

Liu Xu laughed: "You said it too, it's 'no one dares', not because you don't want to say it."

Naturally, they couldn't stare at Liu Xiu and Cai Xuning for a long time, they only took a few glances occasionally, and then looked back.

"Uncle Wen has just been enthroned as the emperor. He is the emperor on horseback. Most of the world is created by him. Cai Xuning himself is suitable for both civil and military affairs, and he is also a great minister. He is a very capable person. He has a good relationship with him. There are so many civil servants and military generals, and when everyone is happy now, naturally no one dares to touch the tiger's ass. But after everything is smooth, you just wait."

Everything else can be tolerated, but the problem of the heir is the only one...

Liu Xu's voice was light.

He speaks very calmly, always unhurriedly.

At the end of the sentence, it seemed a little cold again.

But Liu Boji knew what he said was true.

Even if the ministers below could tolerate it, how could their Liu family, their elder brother Liu Yan, tolerate such absurd behavior?

...

Cai Xuning said expressionlessly.

"I felt a few bad sights."

Although he didn't look up, he could see something from his perspective in the live broadcast room.

The names of Liu Boji and Liu Xu frequently appeared in the barrage.

Even if Cai Xuning didn't look at it deliberately, but just saw something out of the corner of his eye, he was basically sure.

Liu Xiu glanced lightly, and met her brother's gaze.

He smiled lightly, raised the wine cup with his left hand and faced Liu Xu far away.

The two brothers finished a glass of wine together, their eyes disappeared at the touch of a touch, Liu Xu lowered his head and shook his head silently.

He wanted to raise his glass with his left hand, because he was afraid that he would not know what the two of them were doing in private?

Liu Xiu's right hand was holding Cai Xuning's left hand.

It wasn't much of a trick.

This is just the skin-to-skin contact between lovers.

"It must be talking about us behind our backs."

Liu Xiu said very calmly.

Cai Xuning: "..."

Does that even need to be said?

That must be discussing them behind their backs!

Cai Xuning realized that he shouldn't have walked up just now.

hateful!

He must have been bewitched by Liu Xiu's call.

Cai Xuning gritted his teeth in his heart, but he still had to speak calmly.

"Did you drink too much?"

He didn't notice it at the beginning, but from the way Liu Xiu called him in the hall just now, to his lazy and undisciplined appearance... there are indeed some changes.

"There are some." Liu Xiu admitted.

He had already eaten the hangover soup just now, and the wine fight with Liu Yan had already sobered up more than half.But seeing Cai Xuning's worried eyes, he suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

"Axu hasn't come to see me for a long time."

Liu Xiu spoke in that slow, drawn-out voice, a little bland, but inexplicably pitiful.

Cai Xuning couldn't help but get excited.

I don't know how to describe this thunderous and cute feeling!For a moment, he wanted to be a father and beat someone up.

"Hasn't Axiu already made enough guarantees?"

Cai Xuning raised his eyebrows.

Liu Xiu laughed softly: "Ah Xu is wrong." He clenched Cai Xuning's hand with some satisfaction.

In order not to let the cherished treasure slip away, you can only keep an eye on it, and then keep an eye on it.

Don't hunters do the same when they are afraid that their prey will slip away?It's just that compared to the vicious hunter, Liu Xiu thought he was much more friendly.

He stood up with Cai Xuning and looked outside the hall: "Let's go?" The meaning of the words was ready to come out.

Cai Xuning stared at him in a daze, knowing that right now, the most sensible thing for them to do would be to meet each other quietly after leaving.

but……

Take care of him!

Cai Xuning shook the hands held under the robes, and the robes of the two touched each other intimately and ambiguously.

"Why don't you go?"
