MTL - Sweet Beauty-Chapter 9 post house

But it was said that Xie Jin was the supervisor this time, but Empress Zhang and Geng Yun still had doubts about Liu Yu. The two of them knew that Liu Yu had talent, and they wanted to take advantage of it, but they were also afraid that he would not be a minister.

And Xie Jin has a very close relationship with Liu Xiu - he was the first person who told Geng Yunjin that Liu Xi needed to be eliminated. Later, when the generals of the General Assembly executed Liu Xiu, he also contributed to the fire. Although he didn't do it himself, he couldn't escape.

Ah Shu didn't know what Liu Yu was thinking. Seeing him during the day, his attitude towards Xie Jin was always the same.

When resting on this day, Xie Jin again complained and asked side-by-side: "I am getting old, I may not be able to bear the long journey, I don't know Your Majesty, how long will it take to get here?"

In fact, everyone knew that what he wanted to find out was where Liu Yu planned to start and where he would end up.

Liu Yu still did not enter the oil and salt, and smiled warmly: "Xie Gong, please bear with it, now there are robbers everywhere, let's go faster, about 20 days, we will enter Hebei, and then it will not be too late to make a long-term plan. "

"Your Majesty, since you know that there are rogues, you should make plans as soon as possible!" Xie Jin and Liu Yu had been facing each other for many days, but they had not found any clues. Let's talk again, it's too late!"

It should be noted that bandits are rampant right now, and even ordinary officials and eunuchs are not spared, especially the closer to Hebei, the weaker the power of the imperial court. And in the dozens of boxes and cages he carried, there was a lot of property.

Liu Yu was not in a hurry, and seemed helpless, and smiled bitterly: "Xie Gong, I am not slack, but there are only 2,000 people in my hands. Any small bandit who occupies the mountain as the king is also stronger than me."

Xie Qi was in a hurry and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "It's really weak! As Liu Boyan's younger brother, you don't have the slightest ambition to be brave, and you really feel ashamed of his reputation! Not to mention 2,000 people at this moment, it's 200 people. Human, if he were Liu Boyan, he would definitely be able to call himself another world!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Most of the accompanying soldiers had been following Liu Xiu's brother for many years, and they couldn't hear a villain like Xie Jin sneering at him. But more, he wanted to see Liu Xiu's reaction. After the service has been soft for a long time, many people have been secretly dissatisfied.

In front of everyone's eyes, Liu Ruo's smile finally became a little stiff, and a haze flashed through his eyes, as if he was a little embarrassed by what Xie Jin had just said.

An accomplice who killed Liu Xiu, but at this moment, in front of his younger brother, talking about his high-minded hero, falls into the eyes of others, it is really hateful and ridiculous, if Liu Xiu can't bear it, it is really true. Too cowardly.

However, just when Xie Jin thought that he had succeeded in making him lose his temper, and others were waiting to see how he would fight back, he regained his calm appearance, shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed, I really can't compare to my brother's. Ling Yun's ambition made Duke Xie laugh."

Xie Jin was stunned. He didn't expect to say such a thing, he was still like a wooden body clay sculpture, motionless!

Others were disappointed. In the past, Liu Xu was a heroic person and a man of righteousness, and he was short-lived. He always took the emperor as a model, and vowed to help the Han Dynasty and bring the world back to unity, which attracted many good talents. Liu Yu, his younger brother, was respected by people because of his generosity and courtesy, and often strategic planning.

But now that Liu Yu is dead, and Liu Yu is the king of Xiao, he is still as generous as before, without the air of a king.

For a time, the atmosphere in the army was sluggish, and many people even had the intention of quitting.

If you are not a clear master, and you can't seal the king and worship the minister in the future, who would be willing to die?

Liu Xiu didn't realize it, but the hand hidden in his sleeve slowly tightened.

…

On that day, when the team arrived at Wucheng, Liu Yu still led his troops to garrison outside the city, while Ashu and others stayed at the post in the city.

At this time, it was August. Although it was early autumn, it was still hot. After a day's journey, Ah Shu only felt dusty all over her body, so as soon as she entered the house, she prepared water to bathe.

The house in the inn is not big, only a small bedroom, and there is no special bath room. Queer will lead someone to carry the bath tub into the house for her, fill it with water, undress her and untie her belt, Go out for a meal.

Apart from them, no one else lived in the inn at this time. In the bedroom, after Ah Shu stepped into the tub, she sent the maids to rest, while she put her head on the rim of the tub and closed her eyes slightly.

Xu is too tired, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Liu Xiu entered the house, it was already dusk.

No one was waiting outside the house, he pushed the door and entered, the house was also quiet, as if no one was there, only behind a screen beside the door, there were a few wisps of water vapor wafting in the air.

His heart suddenly moved inexplicably, and after closing the door, he couldn't help but lighten his footsteps and spared the screen to enter.

On the other side of the screen, the beauty was reclining in the bathtub, her black hair was on top, her eyes were lightly closed, her pink face was full of spring, revealing a slender neck and two thin shoulders, between her lustrous and bright skin, Countless bright water droplets are slowly sliding down the gentle curve, submerged in the snow-white softness that is half-covered by the barrel rim.

He only felt that his footsteps stopped, and his hands in his sleeves could not help shaking.

The Beauty in the Barrel still closed her eyes, completely unaware of his quiet arrival.

He looked at it for a long time, and finally realized that he had lost his way, quietly retreated outside the screen, and coughed twice.

A Shu was awakened by the sound, and saw a vague and familiar figure outside the screen, only to realize later that he had entered the room.

Seeing that there was no maid around, she could only timidly say "Your Majesty later", then quickly got up, stepped out of the bucket, took the prepared towel and wiped her body, but she reached out to get the clothes. But he remembered that the previous clothes had already been taken away and washed by Queer, but the ones that needed to be replaced had not been brought.

She stood there hesitantly, wrapped in a towel, and was hesitating whether to ask for help, but when she heard the door of the house being pushed open from the outside, the voice of Queer came: "Ashu, clothes—"

The words stopped halfway, and Queer looked at Liu Yu who suddenly appeared, not knowing how to advance or retreat. But just when she was hesitating whether to salute first, he involuntarily turned his eyes away, coughed twice, lowered his head and strode out the door.

Queer gave the clothes to Ashu for unknown reasons. While dressing for her, she wondered: "The king lived outside the city a few days ago, why did he come to the post house today?"

Ah Shu was embarrassed, but he managed to go out, and finally he was relieved. He didn't listen to Queer's words carefully, but was absent-minded.

This room is very narrow, except for a small bed, there is only a very short seat. If Liu Yuruo is in the same room with her, how can she sleep?

After a while, Liu Yu had walked around the inn several times. Seeing that it was almost time, he turned back again. This time, he didn't push the door directly, but knocked slightly, and the maid opened the door for him before stepping in cautiously.

In the room, A Shu had long hair scattered, and was staring at the narrow and short sitting dazed.

Liu Yu looked at her pink face, and seemed to remember the naked appearance in the tub just now. He couldn't help but warm his ears, looked away calmly, followed her to the couch, and then frowned slightly, just now in the bottom of his heart. The change has almost disappeared.

Yes, in the past few days, he has been sleeping with the soldiers outside every day, but today is different. He came from outside the city and stayed at the inn. Thinking about it, she was extremely reluctant to live in the same room with him.

"I need to apologise to you today."

He spoke coldly.

Ashu was a little shy, listening to his indifferent voice, she suddenly remembered that he was doing filial piety now, and that he would never touch her anyway, so he felt relieved.

…

In the middle of the night, after grooming, Ah Shu suddenly remembered what Xie Jin said in the daytime, but she couldn't hold back and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, are you really not planning on the next step?"

At this time, Liu Xiu was sitting in slippers by the bed. Hearing this, he seemed to remember something. His face suddenly sank, he looked up at her, and said coldly, "Why, do you think I have no ambitions and are weak and incompetent?"

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he thought she was the same as those who deliberately speculated in the daytime. Sure enough, the words and eyes of those people did not touch him at all, but they were hidden.

She hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, how dare a concubine? I just care about the king."

How could she suspect that his future was bleak? But just ask casually.

Seeing that his expression did not soften, she said cautiously: "Your Majesty is not weak and incompetent, but he is more benevolent than his deceased elder brother. It should be noted that honor and righteousness are important, but a true gentleman talks about convincing people with reason, and German service people."

Liu Xiu stared at her expressionlessly for a moment, and suddenly chuckled, "Do you really think so?"

Ashu nodded hurriedly.

There was a strange look in his eyes, and he whispered: "I will show you tomorrow. The 'benevolence' in your mouth is afraid that I will lose many soldiers."

After all, he took off his shoes and socks, lay down in the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The rest of A Shu was at a loss for understanding. Since many soldiers and soldiers would be lost, why would they do this? It's just that at this time in her previous life, she was trapped in Geng Yun's mansion every day, regardless of court affairs. Now that she thinks about it, she knows very little about the arduous process of it, except that he is sure that he will go all the way to Chang'an in the future.

She stood by the bed and stared at him for a long while, and finally turned off the lights and slowly climbed into the bed.
