After being forced to marry the prince

The guard next to Liu Wangshan held up a hand stove and was about to pass it to Chu Yu. Chu Wuji naturally reached out to take it, put it on his nose and sniffed it lightly. There was no pungent smell, and then he softly praised: "No smoke and no smell, the charcoal is very good. good."

After saying that, she turned and handed it to Chu Yu. Chu Yu knew that Chu Wu had tried it, so she took it and put it in her arms carefully.

Liu Wangshan personally picked up another hand stove and said respectfully to Chu Wu: "Your Majesty heard that His Highness Ninth Prince has never learned martial arts and has no internal strength to keep out the cold. If you don't mind, you can also bring a hand stove with you."

Chu Wu didn't reach out to pick it up, but shook his head and said, "Prefect Lao, take care, I don't need it."

"My lord, please take it!" Liu Wangshan held the stove in his hand rather persistently, and said ashamedly, "It's rare for the Ninth Prince to come to Yuzhou. Treating the prince well is also powerless, although this hand stove is not useful, but it is small and convenient to carry around."

As the saying goes, hospitality is hard to come by, pushing a small hand stove back and forth is boring, Chu Wuzheng wanted to reach out to get it, but an arm beside him picked it up before him.

Gu Baiji said: "The eunuch has a heart, I just thank you on behalf of Ah!"

"This is what a subordinate official should do." Liu Wangshan pulled out a smile, "Since this is the case, the subordinate official will not bother you, my lord, general, please!"

Until the figures of several people disappeared completely, Liu Wangshan still stood there in a daze, looking at the direction where Chu Wu left.

"The prefect?" Qian Wei took a step forward and asked, "The prefect has taken a fancy to the Ninth Prince Chu Wu?"

"Peerless in appearance, unparalleled in youth!" Liu Wangshan stood in the middle of the hall and said infatuatedly, "Only such a person is worthy to truly stay by my side."

Qian Wei was puzzled when he heard the words, "Since that's the case, why didn't the prefect find a way to keep this person behind, and when they leave the city, wouldn't there be no chance in the future?"

Liu Wangshan said: "Er is short-sighted."

Gu Baiji is not easy to deal with, Liu Wangshan doesn't want to startle the snake, the most important thing right now is to send these people away.

As for Chu Wu, Chu Wuwen's smiling face appeared in Liu Wangshan's mind, and he said with determination: "Who knows what will happen in the future."

There is a street outside the prefect's mansion, and there are already many pedestrians coming and going.

At this time, it was different from when he entered the mansion yesterday. It was getting late yesterday and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

After observing all the way, Chu Wu's expression gradually became serious, "General, something is wrong in Yuzhou City."

There are people coming and going in the city, but there is no bustling noise, and the people here are doing their own things step by step.

The numbness on their expressions was exactly the same, whether it was the fear of famine or the joy of staying in Yuzhou City for the rest of their lives, none of them were missing, but after seeing Chu Wu and the others, the numb expressions brought out some Come in fear.

"You are right." Gu Baiji said, "There is one more strange thing."

Chu Wuwen said, his eyes swept over the pedestrians one by one, and he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Among these people, there are no healthy adult men."

"Yes." Gu Baiji nodded, "Occasionally I saw a few, but they were all flawed."

The two looked at each other as they spoke, and they both understood what the other was thinking.Before, I thought that Liu Wangshan didn't open the city gate because he didn't want refugees to enter the city, but now it seems that he kept the people of this city in captivity.

Chu Wu looked up at the city gate in the distance, and asked, "General, what do you think this young man is being captured by him? Is it raising soldiers or doing something else?"

"It's not clear yet." Gu Baiji rubbed his hands together in his palms, "Don't worry, no matter what his intentions are, since he met us, it's his end."

Chu Wu smiled and asked again:

"General, this Liu Wangshan wants us to leave so urgently, if we go out, we won't be able to come in!"

Gu Baiji nodded, "So I'm going to let Anzhi go alone to arrange disaster relief, and we'll stay."

Chu Wu nodded.

When they came to the city gate, the carriages of Gu Baiji, Chu Wu and Chu Yu all stopped.

Only An Yu walked out with a vast amount of food and grass for disaster relief.

The guard at the city gate stepped forward and asked Gu Baiji, "Dare to ask the general, but you still have to leave the city?"

Chen Qi replied: "Not going out."

"This..." I don't know why the agreement suddenly changed.

Chen Qi glanced at Gu Baiji, and replied: "If there is disaster relief, one general is enough. We have traveled this way, and we are very interested in the customs and customs in Yuzhou City, so we decided to stay and have a look."

That's what it means not to go.

The two guards looked at each other, and had no choice but to take a step back respectfully, allowing them to return to the city.

Since it is said to be an inspection, there is no reason to stay in the carriage anymore, Chu Wu pushed Chu Yu, and together with Gu Baiji, they just walked on the streets in Yuzhou City so generously.

In the beginning, Gu Baiji also thought about disguise, such as changing clothes or something, but looking at the conditions of the people under Liu Wangshan's rule, it was obvious that they were brainwashed. Under such circumstances, no matter how clever the disguise technique is, It's hard to fit in.And if Liu Wangshan really had some schemes, he might be watching everywhere in this city.

At that time, it will be impossible to guard against, so it is better to go back generously, and it will be much easier to deal with many things.

After walking forward for a while, when I looked back, I saw that the city gate had been closed, and one of the two guards beside the gate was missing.Island; Xi; alone; home.

Chu Wu and Gu Baiji looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that the guard probably went back to the prefect's mansion to report in advance.

Walking all the way to the street in front of the prefect's mansion, there were more pedestrians on the street, and a few people sat down at a small tea stand.

When I came here before, it was dark and I couldn't see it clearly. At this time, Gu Baiji raised his head and looked at the prefect's mansion not far away for a moment, and suddenly said: "Ah You, there is an explanation for your strangeness before."

"What?" Chu Wu took two cups of hot tea from the peddler, handed one to Chu Yu who was next to him, and the other to Gu Baiji, following his gaze, his complexion gradually changed.

"Did you see it?" Gu Baiji stretched out his hand to take the hot tea, and said, "The one on the third portrait is not hell, but the eunuch's mansion."

Although the previous painting is rough, the general outline is still there, and the orientation, and even the two guards holding weapons at the gate of the mansion are almost exactly the same.

Chu Wu looked at it for a while, and said worriedly: "General, this Liu Taishou is really not simple. I now feel that Zhao Zhi sent the information to the general's mansion. In addition to knowing that you are different from other corrupt officials, Another reason is your status as a great general."

"There is a problem for sure." Gu Baiji said, "But it doesn't matter." Gu Baiji held his hand in his palm, brought it to his lips and kissed it lightly, "I'm here."

After a while, Liu Wangshan, who finally got the news, hurried over and bowed to them: "I don't know that the general and the two lords have left and returned, and neglecting some distinguished guests is a dereliction of duty."

Chu Wu paid special attention, and found that after seeing Liu Wangshan, the people around him shrank a little distance from him, apart from being numb and respectful.

These people are afraid of him!

Sure enough, Liu Wangshan lied from the beginning to the end. If he really closed the city gates for the sake of the people in the city, it would be too late for these people to appreciate him, so why would they be afraid?
