Forty-five, Zhou Lang's brilliant plan to help the world

Xiahou Liusu returned to the tent. After a while, Zhou Xuan brought De'an County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Sanchi, Chen Ji, General Qi and others to come. He sat down in the tent, drank and talked, and ordered someone to invite Mr. Lianchang to drink in the tent.

Zhou Xuan asked Xiahou Liusu to sit beside him and have two drinks together. Seeing Xiahou Liusu's expression stiff on her face, he whispered: "What's wrong with Liusu, you are tired?"

Xiahou Liusu's pale cheeks floated with two red glows, and his fine eyelashes were covered. He shook his head, raised his glass, and tried to calm his tone: "Young master, Liusu toast you with a glass."

Zhou Xuan looked at Mr. Lianchang's expression coldly, and understood that Xiahou Liusu had already told Mr. Lianchang what he heard last night, thinking to himself: "Liusu dared not look at me, he should be sorry for me. Will she leave tonight?" With a smile, he raised his glass and touched it, and said, "I think I am only able to succeed, but the words and sentences of last night are not good. I used the song "Chongxian Song". There are still a few sentences here to read for you - the person is not sleeping, the pillow is covered with hairpins and hairs. Get up and hold the plain hands, the courtyard house is silent, and when you see sparse stars crossing the rivers and rivers. What do you think of the night? It's been three o'clock in the night, the golden waves are faint, and the jade rope is low - Liusu, the old man Jiadao said, 'Two sentences have been achieved for three years, and tears flow in one song', I don't know if this broken poem can be completed in this life!"

Xiahou Liusu was so heartbroken that he almost burst into tears. He said to himself: "Is there still a time to meet again after we part tonight? We can no longer listen to the famous Zhangjun sentences of the young master. Even if this "Cave Fairy Song" is continued well, I, Xiahou Liusu, can't hear it, and I can't hear the young master chanting in my ears--" I lowered my eyelashes and held back tears, and whispered: "Young Master is a great talent, you will definitely be able to continue. Liusu wishes you great wealth and peace for your life." After that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Zhou Xuan sighed slightly in his heart. Liusu had feelings for him, but there was nothing he could do about it. He smiled and said, "I wish Liusu a safe life. If there are any difficulties, I will help you with it. Remember."

Xiahou Liusu couldn't help it anymore, and the beads were wet, weeping their clothes, and sobbing: "Young Master, Liusu is grateful for your kindness for generations—"

Young Master Lian Chang, who was facing the table, pretended to be choked by alcohol and coughed loudly. The more he saw the situation, the worse it was. The bitch Xiahou Liusu had a true love for Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan said a few words that she might have to say everything!

Zhou Xuan laughed loudly: "Young Master Lianchang has a light drinker!" He drank all the wine in his glass.

When the wine was over, the magistrate of De'an County, the county magistrate said goodbye and returned to the city, indicating that he would come back to see him off early tomorrow morning. Zhou Xuan and Chen Ji sent him out of the tent. Young Master Lian Chang stared at Xiahou Liusu with a stern look and went out.

Xiahou Liusu and Yuer were packing up the cups and plates, and a soldier came in and said, "Miss Liusu, the Marquis and Mr. Third are playing chess in the tent over there, so you can rest first, and you don't have to wait for him." Several soldiers came in and cleared out the cups and plates on the table, and carried two buckets of water in, saying that it was the command of the Marquis.

After the sergeant withdrew, the tent suddenly became deserted. Xiahou Liusu ordered Yuer to guard the curtains of the tent and not let him come in. She wanted to take a bath.

Yu'er looked at Xiahou Liusu's toned body shape enviously, and was about to praise him, but suddenly he heard Xiahou Liusu say, "Yu'er, find out my breeches."

Yu'er quickly found the crotch-struck breeches, watched Xiahou Liusu put on her belt, tied her belt tightly, and asked, "Does Miss want to ride a horse?"

Xiahou Liusu whispered: "Yu'er, clean up, let's leave here immediately, don't ask too much, hurry up."

The fish was so shocked that they were at a loss and went to clean up in a panic.

Xiahou Liusu stood by the gate, listened to the movement outside, walked out, and came to the tent where Sanchi and Chen Ji and General Qi lived together. The two soldiers saw that it was the beautiful concubine of the Marquis, and bowed and was about to speak, Xiahou Liusu waved his hand and whispered: "I won't disturb the Marquis playing chess, I'll go back after a look."

Xiahou Liusu looked into the tent through the gap in the tent. Seeing Chen Ji, General Qi sat cross-legged on the side, Zhou Xuan sat opposite Sanchi Wenping Chef, Zhou Xuan turned his back to her, kneeling, his waist was straight, and his move posture fascinated her.

"I can't even meet for the last time. It's really over!" Xiahou Liusu sighed in her heart and turned around. Seeing that Yu'er had packed up a bag, nothing more than some clothes, and was holding the shadow-skinned knife in her hand, which was taken out from the pillow on the couch, and said, "Miss, this is yours, get it back now."

Xiahou Liusu angrily snatched the shadow-feeding knife, put it back under the pillow, and then walked to the tent. She needed a horse. The weather was clear these days, and the horses were tied to wooden stakes around the tent. The "Black Rose" was in the northwest corner of the tent, with four legs straight and the horse's head drooping, as if she was asleep.

"Black Rose" is Zhou Xuan's beloved mount. Xiahou Liusu couldn't bear to steal "Black Rose". She walked a few steps towards a tent on the side, and suddenly came back again, gently stroked the smooth mane of "Black Rose". The small mane braids on the horse's neck were still woven before she set off the day before yesterday. She, Yuer and Xiaoxiang were tidying the "Black Rose". Now she decided to ride away "Black Rose" and let Zhou Xuan hate her and send someone to catch her-

I heard someone shouting: "It's on fire, it's on fire, the tent is on fire!"

Xiahou Liusu looked up and saw two tents not far away ignited at the same time. The fire broke out so quickly, so naturally someone deliberately set fires. Who else would be besides Mr. Lian Chang and his two subordinates?

Xiahou Liusu knew that he could not hesitate anymore, so he quickly untied the reins of the "Black Rose", led it to the tent, flicked into the tent and moved out of the saddle, quickly tied the five-shex hole ribbon, turned his head and said to the fish, "Get on the horse."

The little maid Yuer heard the neighing horses outside and thought they were here to catch them. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She crawled with a bunch on her back several times but didn't climb onto the horse.

Xiahou Liusu gave her a blank look and said angrily: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of?" He stepped on the horse, then leaned over and grabbed Yu'er's upper arm, and carried her up the saddle. When he looked left and right, he saw that the two tents were crowded with people around him, and they were eager to put out the fire. There was no one here, so he immediately activated the "Black Rose" to run west. There was De'an County over the county town, and the official road to Hongzhou was to go around.

A scout suddenly flashed out on the side of the road and shouted, "Who is it?" Then he saw clearly that it was the Marquis' favorite concubine, so he did a half step to the side and asked, "Where is Miss Liusu?"

Xiahou Liusu whispered, "Get closer, I'll tell you." When the scout approached a little, she slapped the scout's Tianling cover with her palm, slapped him faint, and rode his horse by.

"Black Rose" is really a good horse. The horse's hooves rise and fall, and they are light and agile. When they ride on the horse's back, they only move slightly. They run half a mile away. Xiahou Liusu looks back. The fire is still there in the dark night, and the noisy voices are coming to his ears. I want to hear if there is Zhou Xuan's voice. The "Black Rose" under his crotch is still running. The flames are getting farther and the voices are gradually fading away, leaving everything in the boundless dark night.

Xiahou Liusu burst into tears and said in his heart: "Young master, goodbye forever!" With the reins tightened, the "Black Rose" accelerated toward the southwest.

The fire in the tent was quickly put out, and the soldiers were all in the camp. After a while, someone came to report: "The Marquis, General Qi, General Chen, Young Master Lian Chang and his two subordinates disappeared!"

Zhou Xuan pretended to be strange and said, "Where did Lan Lianchang go? Let's shout around first and look for it."

Dozens of soldiers shouted and searched from all directions. Zhou Xuan led a group of people back to the tent where he lived. As expected, the tent was empty. When he saw that the "Black Rose" had been ridden away. Forget it, just treat it as a gift to Xiahou Liusu.

In order to hide the soldiers from the crowd, Zhou Xuan had to act for a while. He was furious and said angrily: "Where is Xiahou Liusu? Look for it!"

Another group of soldiers searched everywhere and came back one after another, saying that they had not found Mr. Lianchang and Miss Xiahou, and their entourage and maid Yu'er were gone. They only found the faint scout who ran away.

The scout quickly woke up and reported to Zhou Xuan that Xiahou Liusu had escaped with the maid.

General Qi knew the inside story and said loudly: "Mr. Marquis, the last general understands that Xiahou Liusu and Mr. Lianchang are all in the same group. They must have heard of some secret from Marquis, so they ran away at night."

Zhou Xuan said angrily: "This slut, I'm so fond of her. She is actually a spy. General Qi, who restrains his subordinates. You are not allowed to make any public statements about this matter tonight. Then you will take people to chase him personally. You must capture Lan Lianchang and Xiahou Liusu."

The Marquis's favorite concubine was actually a spy from Qingyuan. It was reported to him that it would damage the Marquis' reputation. The 300 Fenghua soldiers were silent and dared not say anything. Except for the ones chosen by General Qi to pursue, the others went back to the tent to rest. However, they secretly felt glad that they would not have to travel across mountains and rivers to Qingyuan.

The mysterious man in soap clothes was Lin Dai's personal military officer and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Marquis, do you want to capture that Young Master Lian Chang back? It would be enough to have Xiahou Liusu return to Qingyuan alone to report the message."

Zhou Xuan said: "No need to arrest him. Xiahou Liusu was not worth talking in front of Chen Si'an. Young Master Lian Chang had to tell Chen Si'an this huge secret himself." Question: "The person sent to contact Pan and Lei's family has already set off?"

The Wubian said, "I set out five days ago and I will definitely be able to arrive in Qingyuan before Mr. Lianchang. The Marquis is wise. This plan is perfect, and Chen Si'an in Qingyuan will not be at peace."

General Qi led a team of men to chase the south, pretending to be like that, he always wanted to chase after him.

Chen Ji said: "Brother Zhou, I will have to rush back to Jianzhou tomorrow to see what the situation in Yuan is. If Chen Si'an faces Pan and Lei's two surnames use troops, our Tang Kingdom will immediately advance to Qingyuan."

Zhou Xuan said: "You must give it to the plate immediately. The two surnames Lei will support you with money and goods, and give them all weapons, bows and arrows. Don't be stingy. You must take these two surnames over."

Chen Ji said: "I understand, I'm going to see Pan Yujiao and Lei Meng in person."

Zhou Xuan shouted: "I want to drink wine with Brother Chen Ji for a long night."

That night, Zhou Xuan, Chen Ji, Sanchi, Lin Dai's close-up military officers, and two commanders in charge of the army drank all night. Zhou Xuan was already drunk at dawn. When he woke up, he found himself lying in the carriage. The carriage was hot like a steamer. He lifted the curtains and saw that the sun was dazzling in the afternoon and he had been sleeping for most of the day.

Sanchi wore a wide-edged bamboo hat and was riding leisurely beside the carriage. Seeing Zhou Xuan poking his head out of the car window, he said, "Master, General Chen Ji has gone to Jianzhou in separate ways. We are on the way back to Jiangzhou now."

General Qi also urged the horse to come over and said, "Marty, the young general chased for thirty miles, but he did not see any trace of Lan Lianchang."

Zhou Xuan said: "General Chen Ji will send an order to build the two prefectures to strictly control the checkpoints, and we must seize Lan Lianchang."

Zhou Xuan left for Qingyuan on the first day of the sixth month, and returned to Jiangzhou on the fourth day of the sixth month. He first went to the Protectorate's Office to see the crown princes Li Jian and Lin Dai. After hearing Zhou Xuanxu's words, Li Jian applauded and laughed, and praised: "Cousin Xuan is a great fortune, this is called Zhou Lang's wonderful plan to help the world."

Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "This is unpleasant. Zhou Lang's trick is to help the world. The next sentence is to compensate his wife and soldiers. I compensated a beautiful concubine and a famous horse." Thinking of Xiahou Liusu, I couldn't help feeling sad.

When Lin Hanyun heard that Zhou Xuan was back, she rushed into Jingjie Hall to see Zhou Xuan and shouted happily: "Brother Zhou Xuan."

Lin Dai was furious. The customs of Jiangzhou were that men and women could not meet until the wedding after engagement, otherwise it would be unfavorable to their husband's family. Lin Dai was even more taboo about these because of his eldest daughter, Lin Daoyun, and his wife. He had already advised Lin Hanyun many times, but he didn't expect that she was just disobedient and rushed forward angrily and slapped Lin Hanyun a few times.

Lin Hanyun was so scared that she hurriedly hid behind Zhou Xuan and shouted: "Brother Zhou Xuan save me."

Zhou Xuan pulled the sleeves of his uncle and father-in-law and said, "My father-in-law calms down. The son-in-law doesn't care about these things. In the son-in-law's homeland, men and women meet after they get engaged, so please don't punish Hanyun."

Lin Dai was so angry that he was shouted by Zhou Xuan's few words "Father-in-law" that he disappeared. The only one son-in-law of his two daughters was so good that he didn't give face. He glared at Lin Hanyun and scolded, "Why are you still calling him brother? You should call him husband."

"Husband?" Lin Hanyun opened her mouth and looked at Zhou Xuan. Her little face turned red and said, "How can I say this? I'm so embarrassed!" Her little waist twisted and ran away.

Lin Dai said awkwardly: "The son-in-law is so responsible, Hanyun is really ignorant."

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said, "My father-in-law, the son-in-law doesn't like to be restrained, and he likes to be innocent and innocent."

Lin Dai invited the Eastern Palace and Zhou Xuan’s dinner party, and it was not until the end of Xu.

Zhou Xuan habitually went to the "Jiunan Mountain House". When he came back, he always had to meet Fairy Jingyi. When he came to the gate of the "Jiunan Mountain House", he was told by a maid that Fairy Jingyi had returned to Baiyun Temple the day before yesterday.

Zhou Xuan left the Protectorate Mansion in a bad mood, but saw a circle of people standing outside Chaoyangfang, Qin Que, Semen Needle, Xiao Di, Xiao Qiu, Lin Ning, and several servants, all waiting for Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan quickly went to hold the sewing needle's arm, touched Xiaodi's head with the other hand, and smiled, "Did you know I'm back?"

Qin Que smiled like a flower: "As soon as he heard that his husband was back, we all came to welcome him. What's going on? Why did he come back so far to Qingyuan?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Why, I think I'm back too fast? I'm the two little wives in my family. I turned into a blue bird and flew to Qingyuan and came back again."

Qin Que held his husband's other hand and said coquettishly: "Even birds are not so fast. Now they are not two little wives, they are three."

The sewing needle held Zhou Xuan's arm and said sweetly: "No matter what, my husband is back early anyway, so happy."

Zhou Xuan held a little wife in one hand and said with a smile: "Go home and walk back slowly, as if it's a cool breeze."

The family laughed and returned to Jiulianfang. Xiao Xun looked around and asked, "Son-in-law, where are Miss Liusu and Yu'er?"

Xiao Xunxiang didn't know the secret of Xiahou Liusu. After spending these days, she also had a good impression of Xiahou Liusu's master. She didn't see her at this time, so she naturally had to ask.

Zhou Xuan sighed, unwilling to say that Xiahou Liusu was sent by Qingyuan to be an undercover agent, and said, "Liusu is going back to her hometown, so I can't keep her, so I let her go."

Although Qin Que had questions, he was unhappy when he saw Zhou Xuanyan, but he was inconvenient to ask again.

The next day, Zhou Xuan stayed away and was determined to accompany his two little wives. Qin Que had already resigned from his position as an assistant teacher in the Jiangzhou Medical Bureau and was about to go to Jinling with his husband. The couple, Xiaodi and Xiaoqian, had a cool meal at the "Mufeng Pavilion" in the back garden, which was very comfortable.

Zhou Xuan remembered the studious female disciple Ruichu and asked Qin Que: "Qi'er, why haven't Ruichu seen it?"

Qin Que said: "The day after my husband came back, I sent someone to Miaoyin Building to call Ruichu, but he said that Ruichu's aunt passed away and Ruichu took the coffin back to his hometown. Ruichu's hometown is from Xingzi Town."

Zhou Xuan asked about "Yunshang Women's Clothing" again, and Renzhen said: "It's well managed. I'll go and see it every day these days. It's mainly because Mr. Abu's sixth wife, Sara, is in charge of it, and the monthly pure profit is about 300 taels."

Zhou Xuan said: "Three hundred taels are good. Jiangzhou is a small place after all. When we arrive in Jinling and Guangling, the profit of "Yunchang Women's Clothing" will double. The needle has been hard, but we have to wait until Xiao Zhiruo is born."

Su Renzhen said happily: "This is what Zier likes to do, so he doesn't feel tired. Husband, should you go to Jinfengfang to see the 'women's clothes' now?"

It was too hot, and Zhou Xuan was afraid of heatstroke from sewing needles and said, "Go and see it at dusk."

Renzi asked: "Husband, we moved to Jinling, what should we do if the 'Yunchang Women' Clothing' garment shop here? Will we move to Jinling together?"

Zhou Xuan said: "No, this ready-to-wear shop is still open, so that my mother-in-law can check cash every month. She is always doing something and is happy."

Qin Que picked a piece of watermelon off the seeds and fed them to Zhou Xuan. He smiled and said, "My husband's heart is even more delicate than our women. He is really thoughtful. In the future, his family has a great career, which is enough for his husband to worry about."

Xiaodi was already extremely yearning for going to Jinling and asked: "Brother-in-law, when will we go to Beijing? Is it tomorrow?"

Zhou Xuan asked Xiaodi to show him a cross-eye, and then said, "It's too hot these days. Your sister Zi'er has a baby in her belly. She is afraid that the heat will ruin the baby. Can we go there at the end of the month?"

Xiaodi nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Zizhi'er's baby wants to call me uncle, right?"
