Forty-four, when no one whispers in the middle of the night

The golden beast and copper furnace in the tent was burned with the Dragon's Pearl fragrance. The slight fragrance overflowed, which could ward off evil spirits and devour insects. As soon as the little maid Yuer fell asleep, she was woken up by the two people on the bed. She knew what Zhou Xuan and Xiahou Liusu were doing. She had been in Mingyu Tower for a long time, and these were already familiar.

Miss Liusu kept shouting in a low voice: "Young Master————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The little maid Yu'er thought to himself: "Miss Liusu seems to like Mr. Zhou more and more, this is a bit wrong. According to me, Mr. Lianchang's intentions may not be really necessary to reconcile with the Tang Kingdom. Could it be that he would kill Zhou Xuan to Qingyuan? No, if he wanted to kill Zhou Xuan, he could have killed him. I guess he had deceived Zhou Xuan without interrupting the business - Oh, why is Zhou Xuan endless? Miss Liusu almost died. If I hadn't been knowledgeable, I would have thought that the lady was so painful and would have to die!"

After a while, the bed finally became quiet. The little maid Yuer couldn't bear the sleepiness and finally fell asleep.

Xiahou Liusu couldn't sleep for a long time, and snuggled in Zhou Xuan's arms and listened to his strong and powerful heartbeat. He was full of gratitude to Zhou Xuan: "Young master is so nice to me. He took me there without taking both wives, so that I could see my hometown Jianzhou, but I kept cheating him. I was not from Jianzhou, I was from Quanzhou, and my father Xiahou Yun was a seventh-rank captain under Chen Dupu. It was a conspiracy that I came to him. He had never doubted me and trusted me so much-"

The more Xiahou Liusu thought about it, the more ashamed she felt that she was too sorry for Zhou Xuan. She had a strong impulse in her heart and wanted to confess all this to Zhou Xuan and ask Zhou Xuan for forgiveness. She was willing to serve Zhou Xuan for life.

Xiahou Liusu raised his head and heard Zhou Xuan's snoring slightly, and thought to himself: "I will be like a young master confessing tomorrow morning. The young master may be very angry. I will bear to beat or scold me. As long as the young master doesn't drive me away." Then he thought: "Oh, no, Lan Lianchang is here too. If I confess, what if the young master gets angry, wouldn't it be implicated? It seems that I will only be able to confess to the young master after the young master and Chen Duhu. Anyway, I, Xiahou Liusu, are the young master's person in this life."

Xiahou Liusu figured it out, calmed down, and fell asleep with Zhou Xuan Tiantian.

In the second half of the night, when it was the best time to sleep, the sound of horse hooves came from the north, which stopped from far and near, thirty feet away. There were soldiers patrolling nights yelling softly, and after a few words, there was no sound.

After a while, someone came outside the tent where Zhou Xuan was and whispered: "Mr. Marquis, Marquis--"

After all, Xiahou Liusu was skilled in martial arts and was relatively alert. Although he was sore and sleepy by Zhou Xuan in the first half of the night, he woke up immediately when he heard the sound outside the tent. He was about to wake up Zhou Xuan, but he heard the man outside the tent say: "——Mr., there is an emergency military situation from Qingyuan."

When Xiahou Liusu heard this, his heart trembled, his body moved and he didn't dare to move, and he felt vaguely uneasy.

Zhou Xuan sat up and responded, "Wait." He put on his clothes, quietly got up and went down to the ground, lifted the curtain, and asked in a low voice, "What emergency military situation?"

The man reported, "Your Highness the Crown Prince asked the prince to come overnight to report to the Marquis. Chen Si'an's rebelliousness was revealed, so the Marquis did not have to go far to Qingyuan."

"What!" Zhou Xuan's voice suddenly rose, and then lowered his voice: "Let's go to the river and speak softly, Lan Lianchang is in the tent there, don't let him feel it." As he said that, he left the tent and walked towards the river with the man.

Xiahou Liusu's heart was pounding. She didn't want to be a spy or eavesdrop on Zhou Xuan's conversations, but what the person who came to report revealed was obviously very important. It was related to Chen Dupu of Qingyuan. What happened? Will Prince Li Jian tell Zhou Xuan not to go to Qingyuan?

Xiahou Liusu hurriedly tied his underwear, put on his small shirt, walked barefoot to the edge of the curtain of the tent, and looked out from the gap. Under the hazy starlight, Zhou Xuan and a man in soap stood on the bank of the river thirty steps away and talked.

Xiahou Liusu held his breath and listened quietly to Zhou Xuan's conversation with the man in soap. Although they were seven or eight feet away, they were also very quiet, but on this quiet night, Xiahou Liusu could still hear clearly with his ears.

The man in soap clothes said, "Mr. Marquis, yesterday evening, His Highness the Crown Prince received a secret report from Pan Yujiao, Pan Xia Mountain, saying that Chen Si'an intended to join forces with Wu Yue and Qian Mu to invade our Tang Kingdom. Chen Si'an's intention to rebel was obvious, so there was no need to talk to him about any trade. He was a delaying strategy-"

Xiahou Liusu has cold hands and feet. Pan Yujiao is the patriarch of Pan, one of the four surnames of Shanha, Min Kingdom. Pan Yujiao actually betrayed Chen Si'an and had connections with Tang State. Qingyuan wants to invade Tang State with Wu and Yue troops. Is this true?

Xiahou Liusu's body trembled like a cold, and Zhou Xuan said angrily: "What happened? Chen Si'an is so treacherous. Wouldn't I go to Qingyuan to get into the mouth of a tiger!"

The man in Zaoyi said: "Since the marquis is prepared, how could he be afraid of Chen Si'an? His Highness and Lin Dupudor made a plan overnight to capture and kill Chen Si'an in one fell swoop."

Zhou Xuan asked in a low voice: "What's the plan?"

The man in the soapy body said, "The Marquis pretended not to know anything, and continued to go south, and then asked Chen Si'an to meet in the Xianxialing area at the border between Tingzhou and Zhangzhou. In order to reassure Chen Si'an, the Marquis could cross the boundary to the Zhangzhou side. During the conversation, see how good the people around Chen Si'an are. If there is no particularly powerful master, let the third gentleman beside the Marquis take action to subdue or kill Chen Si'an. If there are masters around him, don't act rashly, for fear that if you hurt the Marquis, the Marquis can use a body of 10,000 gold, and you don't have to take this risk. You have other ways to deal with Chen Si'an--"

Zhou Xuan asked: "What's more plan?"

The man in the soapy clothes said: "The new army of Chen, as well as Yong'an, and the three groups of Yusheng Protectorate, a total of 50,000 troops were lying on Xianxia Ridge near Tingzhou. When the Marquis and Chen Si'an talks were over, they suddenly broke out. They were only a hundred miles apart and they would soon catch up with Chen Si'an. Of course, Chen Si'an was sure to be prepared and would bring no fewer troops, but our army had the help of the Lei tribe to cut off Chen Si'an's retreat. Even if Chen Si'an fought the bloody path and escaped his life, he would probably have been seriously injured. At that time, Chen Si'an led his army into Fujian, wouldn't it be like a waste?"

Zhou Xuan praised: "It's true that Chen Si'an wanted to fool me, but he blinded his dog eyes. He just did this, let Lan Lianchang follow him foolishly, and then he captured him and forced him to surrender. Lan's family is very influential in Fujian. Haha, those who came to the door still thought they had a plan - come, follow me to see General Chen Ji, and we will discuss it secretly."

Zhou Xuan and the man in soap went to the tent where Chen Ji and General Qi lived. It was quiet around him, and only the river was flowing.

Xiahou Liusu sat back on the couch, in midsummer, but her body was trembling slightly.

"What to do? What to do?" Xiahou Liusu asked himself in his heart: "Is it really a false intention to invite Mr. Zhou to meet? Is it a delaying plan? Well, it is very likely that Mr. Chen is not a person who is willing to be inferior to others. Last autumn, Chen Dudu went to Wuyue in person. It is very likely that Mr. Chen Dudu went to Wuyue in person. It is very likely that the alliance with Wuyue is true, but the two surnames of Pan and Lei betray Qingyuan and secretly surrendered to the Tang Kingdom. This is something Mr. Chen never expected. It is too fatal!"

Xiahou Liusu's mouth was dry and he poured a cup of mint tea from the teapot and sat on the edge of the couch. She felt a mess. She knew what to do, but she didn't want to do that. She thought: "I should tell Mr. Lianchang about this immediately. I can't follow Zhou Xuan south anymore. Zhou Xuan might arrest him at any time. In addition, Chen Duhu must be let as soon as possible know about Pan and Lei's rebellion. Be careful and find a way to wipe out Pan and Lei's."

But Xiahou Liusu also understood that once she did this, she would be completely hostile with Zhou Xuan from now on, and she could no longer stay by Zhou Xuan's side, and serving Zhou Xuan for the rest of her life would become a dream and dream.

A tear drops into the teacup, and a small cup of water can also cause ripples!

Xiahou Liusu's eyes were filled with tears. When the eyelashes blinked, tears fell across her face and dripped from her pointed chin into the teacup held in her hand. After a long time, she suddenly drank the mint water and tears in the cup in one sip, put the teacup back, lay back down, she made up her mind, and she waited for Zhou Xuan to come back.

Zhou Xuan didn't come back until dawn, stood outside the tent and shouted: "Lissu, get up and hurry up, you're going to pack up the tent."

Xiahou Liusu and the little maid Yu'er walked out and saw that Sanchi, Chen Ji, and General Qi were all with Zhou Xuan. Even Mr. Chang came over and greeted Zhou Xuan.

The sergeant put away the twelve tents one by one and put them on the carriage. The sergeant used a marching pot to boil hot water. After eating the soup cakes, everyone got on the horse and rushed on their way.

In the carriage, Yu'er saw Xiahou Liusu's brows and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Xiahou Liusu said: "It's nothing, I have to report to Mr. Lianchang. There are so many people and eyes that I can't find a chance. Can fish have a way?"

Yu'er said: "It's difficult for a lady to meet Mr. Lianchang. The lady is Mr. Zhou's concubine. Every move is eye-catching. He asked Yu'er to tell Mr. Lianchang, what's wrong with me?"

Xiahou Liusu shook his head and said, "I must tell Mr. Lianchang personally about this matter. There is no rush, and I will always find an opportunity."

Yu'er said, "Okay, I'll find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Lian Chang first. It should be a good time to set up camp at night, and the soldiers are very busy."

On the evening of that day, Zhou Xuan and his party came to De'an County and set up camp on the outskirts of the city. When the magistrate of De'an County heard that the Marquis of Xinzhou was here, he quickly brought people to bring wine, meat and food.

Xiahou Liusu finally waited for the opportunity to meet Mr. Lianchang behind a small forest, and asked, "Mr. Lan, is it true that Master Lan, is the Lord Protector sincerely asking for peace when he meets the Marquis of Xinzhou?"

Seeing that Xiahou Liusu was pale and worried, Young Master Lianchang knew that Xiahou Liusu must have heard something, so he said, "This is a slowdown. Liusu, what have you heard? Did Zhou Xuan notice it?"

Xiahou Liusu was silent for a while, and then said to Mr. Lianchang one by one after another when he heard last night, which shocked Mr. Lianchang, and was stunned. He let out a cold sweat and murmured: "Zhou Xuangou is so cruel. He wants to capture and kill Lord Dugu in one fell swoop, it's too poisonous!"

Xiahou Liusu felt very uncomfortable when she heard Mr. Lian Chang scolding Zhou Xuan, and said coldly: "It's not a matter of intrigue or not. Mr. Lan, please make an idea, what should I do?"

Young Master Lianchang was in a mess and did not pay attention to Xiahou Liusu's tone. He frowned and said hatefully: "What else can I do? Of course, I should leave here quickly and rush back as soon as possible to let Lord Protector clear the market first. If the thunder tribes are not eliminated, how can I fight for the world if I don't get rid of the troubles!"

Xiahou Liusu's heart tightened and asked, "Will you leave tonight?"

Mr. Lian Chang said: "It will be better if you are a moment earlier. Zhou Zhe may arrest me at any time. By the way, Liusu, you can continue to stay. Zhou Xuan did not doubt you. It would be of great use to stay by his side."

Xiahou Liusu was deeply angry that Young Master Lianchang wanted to use her. She no longer wanted to be a spy and said sarcastically: "Young Master Lan left without saying goodbye. Wouldn't Zhou Xuan be suspicious of me? If you want me to stay, I will die."

Young Master Lian Chang looked at him with a sharp look and shouted softly: "Xiahou Liusu, is this how you talk to me?"

Xiahou Liusu turned her face aside and watched the setting sun set, and the dusk gradually enveloped her.

Young Master Lian Chang sneered: "You have made great contributions this time. After you go back, Lord Protector will definitely have a heavy reward, but we left like this. Is it cheaper that Zhou thief? Why don't you kill Zhou thief tonight? Anyway, my Qingyuan and Tang State are already in power, and it is inevitable that the partition of trade is blocked. Just kill Zhou thief, which is a major blow to Tang State. Zhou thief is now the most popular person in the Tang State's court and Li Jian's confidant. King Jing has long asked me to get rid of Zhou thief."

Xiahou Liusu's face turned red with anger. Zhou Xuan thought that Young Master Lianchang was a big family in Fujian, so he didn't say he wanted to kill Lan Lianchang. Lan Lianchang wanted to kill Zhou Xuan before leaving, which was absolutely not allowed. He said, "It's not my ability to kill Zhou Xuan. Young Master Lianchang can do it himself if he has a way."

Lan Lianchang was furious. He didn't know how to do martial arts. Xiahou Liusu said this obviously mocked him: "Xiahou Liusu, do you also want to learn Pan? Lei Er's betrayal of Lord Dugu? Did you like Zhou Xuan last?"

Compared with the inner pain of Xiahou Liusu, Young Master Lianchang's threatening tone was not concerned at all, and said lightly: "If I betray him, I will not tell you this. Zhou Xuan did not doubt me. I could be his concubine, but I didn't do that. I am from Quanzhou and from Qingyuan. Zhou Xuan knew how to be my Xiahou Liusu, who cared for his hometown Xinzhou, how could I betray him!" After speaking, his tone was fierce.
