Sweet Beauty

That night, Ah Shu thought she would toss and turn and sleepless, but she didn't know that she had no dreams all night, until the next morning, when the sun first shone, she was still sleeping soundly.

Liu Xiu woke up quietly as early as the first rooster crowing.

It was early autumn and the night was cold. The woman beside him unconsciously approached him while sleeping. She was leaning on his shoulder at the moment, breathing deep and long, her soft chest touching his arm from time to time, plump and warm.

He frowned, quietly moved aside, and looked over unconsciously.

She was still in a deep sleep, and there was a red mark printed on the fabric on her cheeks, lining her snowy skin that was lustrous and delicate. The golden light penetrated through the gap between the doors and windows, shining on her undulating chest and slender waist, outlining the graceful spring.

Liu Yu's mind flashed the hazy figure in the misty room yesterday, his eyes flickered involuntarily, and his gaze followed her chest, which was half-covered by her long hair and clothes.

If looming, the ravines are clear.

Unexpectedly, although her stature is slender, her inner body is evenly distributed, and there are hidden hills and valleys.

He felt a little burning in his heart, and his dark eyes were also stained with manic depression.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and Ashu woke up suddenly. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of dark and unpredictable eyes. She froze immediately, and then lowered her head to follow his gaze and pointed at her. chest!

Ah Shu breathed stagnantly, subconsciously let out a soft cry, her cheeks flushed, showing a look of alertness, and her hands were wrapped around her chest, trying to block his sight.

When the peeping was discovered on the spot, Liu Xiu quickly tightened his face, looked away from the scene, coughed lightly, and raised his voice, "Come in."

When the maid outside Yiyan came in with a towel, a handkerchief, a cup and a basin, and served the two of them to wash and change their clothes, Ah Shu was always worried, looking down from time to time, like a knot in her heart, which she couldn't untie.

Liu Yan was annoyed in his heart, and his face was rare. After wearing it, he sat down by himself and waited for the maids to present the meal.

However, the two of them didn't eat for a while, but Liu Ji, who was stationed outside the city, had a solemn face and hurried in to report: "Your Majesty, there were widespread rumors in the army last night. This morning, there were five hundred soldiers, and they betrayed privately while everyone was still awake. ."

The maids and others around were startled, and even Ah Shu couldn't help but look sideways. The total number of soldiers Liu Xiu brought out was only 2,000, and he left 500 in one night. It was a heavy blow!

On the other hand, Liu Jiu remained calm. He first drank water and rinsed his mouth, wiped his face with a towel, and tidied up his attire. Fang Yu Liu Ji's anxious eyes asked, "Are there still many soldiers in the army who are like this? meaning?"

Liu Ji cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, at this moment the military is under martial law, and no one can escape."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said leisurely: "There is no need for martial law, you go back and spread the message to everyone. I know that this trip is difficult and the road ahead is slim. Many soldiers have families and children, and they do not want to take risks with me. It is reasonable. There are people who want to retreat, so they leave before the middle of the day, and after the middle of the day, they continue on their way."

"Your Majesty—" Liu Ji raised his head suddenly, anxiously.

However, Liu Yu just waved his hand again, as if everything was clear and confident: "Go ahead and do as I say."

Liu Ji couldn't, so full of doubts and worries, he returned to the army outside the city to spread the word.

Ah Shu watched from the sidelines, always puzzled. Listening to what he said last night, he should have known that someone was going to betray, but he did not panic, but left an opportunity to let more people go. Thinking about it this way, he didn't stay in the army last night, I'm afraid he was there. Mind, to give the soldiers who have the intention to retreat can take the opportunity.

But why?

The mere 2,000 people are already vulnerable, and if someone retreats, it will be even more difficult to move. The marchers are most afraid of being unbalanced in the army. Those who betray their trust and defect in secret are also deeply hated by others. Liu Xiu is so lenient, is it not afraid that he will have no prestige and no one will follow?

She couldn't understand his intention more and more.

In the inn, when Xie Jin and the others heard the news, they first threw themselves into disarray, and then became furious, disregarding etiquette, they found Liu Yu and asked the teacher for the crime: "Your Majesty accepted the order of the Son of Heaven, but instead of punishing the deserters, he released them instead, and sent the Son of Heaven to him. Where is the majesty placed? Your Majesty ordered you to recover Hebei, but did not let you do this!"

Liu Xiu remained unhurried, gave the usual helpless and wry smile for the past few days, shook his head and said: "If the army is not in harmony, even if you force it to stay, it will be like a hesitant geese. They need support, and if they can’t protect their future, why not let them find their own way?”

Hearing what he said, he seemed to have taken it off. He no longer wanted personal gains and losses, and no longer hoped for the welfare of Hebei, but just blindly considered for the ordinary soldiers.

Xie Jin was shocked, as if he couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, how can you lose all confidence before you arrive in Hebei?"

He was appointed by the Great Sima, and he had already made a plan to stay in Hebei within a year and a half for the position of the superintendent. It took several days and dozens of boxes for the luggage alone. It's getting decadent, where is the empress dowager and the big Sima so jealous?

Thinking of it this way, he gradually became contemptuous of this life, and said with disdain: "It seems that Your Majesty is really believing the wrong person."

Having said that, he walked away and rested in the inn.

Zhao You, who was on the sidelines with a cold eye, was gradually worried, and while Liu Yu was out, he persuaded A Shu: "Amei. I thought Liu Yu would be a kind person, even if you have a relationship with the Queen Mother, he will not be embarrassed. You, I agreed to marry you. But now, he is indeed a kind man, but he is really weak, and now the army is broken, and in a few days, I am afraid that before he enters Hebei, he will be defeated and end in a dead end. , where can I protect you?"

"I think, take advantage of this pass, why don't you go back to Handan with your brother and sister-in-law, don't go through hardships with him and waste your years."

Ah Shu didn't even think about it, she shook her head and refused: "Brother, I know that you have always been serious about justice. It's not a kind act to leave at this time, so just wait."

She didn't know what was going on next to her, but Liu Yu would practice Zuo in the future, but she was very sure. On that day in Changle Palace, he had long lost the appearance of a generous and wise gentleman. It was not enough to kill Zhang Hou's mother and son. He even shot dozens of people in Geng Yun's house, regardless of gender, age, and child.

How others insulted him today, he will repay one by one in the future.

If she is already the daughter of an enemy, it would be unrighteous to leave today when he is in danger. How can he let her and Zhao's clan be spared when he practices revenge in the future?

Thinking of the situation that day, she couldn't help shivering, and even her eyes were dazed for three points.

Zhao You sighed: "If it were in the past, I wouldn't harm Zhao's reputation, but now I have you..." He was full of worry, seeing her terrified appearance, suddenly a terrifying thought appeared in his heart. , "Ashu, did he - treat you very badly and threaten you?"

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that her brother must have misunderstood the reason for her fear at that moment, but she couldn't say anything about it, so she had to wave her hands again and again: "No no, brother, he didn't—"

Looking at her brother's uncertain eyes, Ah Shu was at a loss for words, and her face flushed with urgency. In the end, she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, stretched out her hand to lightly grab his sleeve, raised her face and said coquettishly, "Brother, believe me, wait a minute. In two days, maybe in two days, the situation will be reversed."

Zhao Youjunxiu frowned, looking at his younger sister's glittering eyes of pleading, and finally shook his head: "Come on, wait a few more days. You girl, you are too good at taking Brother A's weakness."

Anyone who sees her sister's coquettish appearance will turn her heart into a puddle of water, where is there any reason to say no?

"If he doesn't get better, you have to go home with your brother."

Ah Shu nodded hurriedly, with a childlike smile on her face.

When Liu Yu returned, he saw such a scene.

The little girl who slept by his side last night, at this moment, her hands are very dependent on her brother's wide sleeves, her small face is slightly raised, her eyes are clear, the corners of her lips are curved, and the pear eddies are shallow. Slightly crispy.

Thinking of how cautious she was with him every day, and even the inexplicable fear she occasionally revealed, he unconsciously crossed his heart and coughed softly, reminding the brother and sister of their existence.

Unexpectedly, when Zhao You, who was still respectful and polite, saw him appear, his face suddenly turned cold.

Why is this?

He asked himself that he didn't offend Zhao You, how could he treat him so differently overnight?

With doubts in his eyes, he raised his eyebrows and asked Ashu, "What did you say to Junshan just now?"

Junshan is the word for Zhao You. He appreciates Zhao You's upright and arrogant temperament and respects him very much.

Ah Shu felt guilty, lowered her head and said cautiously, "Just chatting. Your Majesty, the concubine is already dressed, when will you leave?"

As soon as Zhao You left, she returned to such a cautious appearance. The difference was truly a world of difference.

Liu Yu felt unpleasant on his face, so he endured the tightness in his chest and ordered to set off.

…

After the desertion incident, the remaining 1,500 people left one after another, and now there are only about 1,200 people.

However, Liu Xiu was not anxious, and proceeded to Hebei without any hassle.

A few days later, when the team reached Shexian, everyone finally became increasingly nervous.

Shexian County is located at the junction of Bing, Jizhou and Sili. Because it is backed by Xishan and south of Zhangshui, it occupies a convenient terrain and is known as a place where bandits and bandits live together. Now that the world is in chaos, this place is naturally very unstable.

Among them, in the Western Mountains, there is a team of refugees who fled due to drought and famine a year ago, with more than 10,000 people, and the leader is Wang Shu, a native of Dong County. Those who pass through this place, ten out of ten, will be robbed by them.

When Zhao You and his entourage passed through this place from Handan to Chang'an, they were also cautious. They first communicated with the great clan who were friendly with Shexian County, asked them to help them, and sent people to donate food, wealth and silk to Wang Shu. Only then did they pass.

However, there were so many people on this trip that Liu Xiu could no longer do this. The refugees are hungry, and they will never let go of the fat in their mouths.

The fact that Liu Xiu had released the deserters earlier had spread to Wang Shu's ears. He waited for several days, and finally when he arrived at Xishan, he led five thousand people, wrapped in red scarves and armed with wooden spears, and set up an ambush in the mountains and forests.
