Goodbye Second Bridge

Liu Qing looked at the palace gate again. Yuan Jun inside had already begun to leave empty-handed and surrendered. Liu Qing said to Huang Wan: "Mr. Ziyan, let's seal off this palace for now. Maybe I will be useful in the future."

"Leave it to your Majesty's disposal."

"The real leader Yuan Shao is dead, and the rest will be left to you and Meng De to deal with. If there are any who resist stubbornly, they will be killed on the spot!" After saying that, he turned to look at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, all the officers and men in the army,

I will leave it to your command to assist in taking over the palace city. Tomorrow, you will lead the army to set off again, and I will go first to Lujiang."

"My lord, are you going to Shu County or Wan County?" Guo Jiashun asked in a coquettish tone.

Liu Qing said that he would give him a roll of his eyes and let him experience it for himself.

"You will lead the soldiers to Shu County tomorrow!"

After Liu Qing said this, he called Xu Shu, turned around and left.

The two gradually left the military formation and returned to the state capital along Central Street.

On the way, Liu Qing asked: "Yuan Zhi, don't you know what your ambitions are?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment and replied: "I am willing to saddle the horse in front and behind for the king, and do the work of the dog and horse."

"Hey, what I said is true. A strong man is enough in front of the saddle and behind the horse. How can I compromise my talent Yuan Zhi? I have two choices, Yuan Zhi can choose."

"I don't dare to be a commoner."

"The first is to serve as an official in the state and county, govern the land and water, and protect the people. The second is to go to Luoyang, look at the world, and show off his strategies."

"My lord, although I have learned some political affairs from Mr. Ziyan, I really don't dare to take charge of the world." Xu Shu quickly turned his hand away.

Liu Qing went up, grabbed Xu Shu's wrist, and said with a smile: "The political affairs are not clear, and one's habits change. I want Yuan Zhi's courage, talent, and ambition!"

The two paused on the road, looking at each other. Xu Shu thought for a few breaths, and then broke away from Liu Qing's hand, knelt on the spot and bowed respectfully, "Thanks to the cultivation of my lord, Xu Shu can't repay him even if his heart and brain are ruined!"

Liu Qing stepped forward to help Xu Shu, and bent down to pat the dust off the front of him.

"Yuan Zhi said this, and I will know the answer. This king's trip is to Yangzhou and Jingzhou. If the time is right, I will also go to Yizhou. You can go with me. Later, you will

Inform Mr. Ziyan that he will set off with the army tomorrow, and when the army reaches Lujiang, I will come to join them."

"Well! Let me go help first. After all, after tomorrow, I won't be able to worry about Mr. Ziyan anymore." Xu Shu said, bowed and left.

Liu Qing led Dian Wei back to the state capital. The guards took him with him, saluted him, and left on his own.

Liu Qing went all the way south from Ruyang, followed by more than a hundred imperial guards, and went south along the official road. He walked neither fast nor slow, and it took him five days.

When they arrived in Wan County, there was a commotion. After all, many people had never seen Liu Qing. They were just naturally afraid of soldiers and horses. However, when Liu Qing entered Wan County unimpeded, they felt relieved and ruled out any intruders.

The enemy and the curiosity of the people began to drive them to come and observe.

After all, fully armed cavalry like King Bohai are not something you can see casually.

"This man is King Bohai, the powerful man who killed Emperor Yuan!" Someone in the crowd recognized Liu Qing and began to show his knowledge to the villagers.

"Isn't this the son-in-law of Qiao Mansion?"

"That's right, it's her! I heard that Qiao Shao sacrificed his delicate daughters to him in order to win over the king. I also heard..." A woman in the crowd chirped until Liu Qing passed by.

convergence.

After Liu Qing passed by, he continued: "I also heard that Qiaoshao changed all the ships into warships, and there will be a war in Wan County in the future!"

At the end of her words, her voice suddenly became softer, as if she was holding some important secret. A group of people gathered around her and nodded secretly.

When the magistrate of Luji heard that King Bohai was coming, he hurriedly rode along the street to greet him, but he was in vain.

Liu Qing went straight to the Qiao family's mansion.

When the son-in-law came to visit, Qiao Shaoju and his family greeted him warmly, and Qiao Wan and Qiao Shuang were also among them.

"Your Majesty, the second time you come to visit, the Bridge Mansion will be in full bloom!" He said and ordered the steward to arrange the banquet on the spot.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm the only one on this trip, and I don't like banquets, so there's no need to be extravagant!"

As soon as Qiao Shao heard the word extravagance, he immediately called back to the steward and told him to simply prepare.

Polite words and truthful words. Qiao Shao, as a human being, wouldn't know that if Liu Qing said polite words, he would call the manager back and arrange things more grandly. If Liu Qing said the truth, then he would just do it.

Yes, especially the word "extravagant" was mentioned.

This is not just in name, it is an act that is consistent with the name of King Bohai's kindness and love for his people.

Liu Qing exchanged a few words with Qiao Shao, then excused himself from the journey and wanted to take a rest.

"Wan'er, quickly take the king to the back house to rest." Qiao Shao said.

Qiao Wan glanced at Liu Qing strangely. Her husband seemed to be full of energy, how could he look a little tired?

However, she still obeyed her father's order and took Liu Qing to the back house.

Qiao Shao looked at the backs of the two of them, stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

"Dad, why are you laughing?"

Qiao Shao couldn't explain clearly, so he said: "You will know about this matter in the future."

Liu Qing and Qiao Wan came to the back house. This visit felt like going home, but also like revisiting the old place. Seeing many familiar things, Liu Qing couldn't help but think of the good things last time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

Qiao Wan seemed to have noticed Liu Qing's pride. After introducing Liu Qing into her boudoir, she said, "It will take a long time after the king leaves."

The words seemed delicate but not angry, strange but not weird. They contained both the bride's expectations and the resentment of staying alone in an empty room for a long time.

Liu Qing looked at his body and said, "You are so tired, let's take a shower first."

"I'll prepare hot water."

Liu Qing grabbed Qiao Wan, and with a little force, he pulled her into his arms, regardless of whether the dust on his body would stain Qiao Wan's neat brocade skirt.

Anyway, they will be washed together later.

"Your Majesty, water."

"I miss you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Wan's pretty face turned red, she shyly pressed her head against Liu Qing's chest and whispered, "Your Majesty is not here, and I miss you very much."

Liu Qing smiled and put down Qiao Wan. He took the legs with his other hand and held the princess in his arms. Just as he was about to turn around and walk towards the bed, the door suddenly opened with a creak.

What ignorant slave?

Liu Qing looked up and saw that it was Qiao Shuang, staring blankly at Liu Qing holding her sister.

"I came at a really bad time!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. His clothes were swaying in yellow, and he was very out of his mind.

Liu Qing remembered a scene for no reason. How should he follow this sentence?

"Xiaoshuang!"

My sister spoke up, "Please stop by and give me instructions to prepare hot water for bathing the king."

Liu Qing is a good guy, Wan'er, you are really easy to handle this sister.

Qiao Shuang curled her lips, turned around and walked out, then put her head back and smiled playfully at Liu Qing.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to have hot water for two people?"

The implication was self-evident. When Qiao Wan heard this, she glanced at Liu Qing in surprise, as if asking: Do I want to take a bath too?

Judging from Liu Qing's expression, it was obvious that he needed to wash it.

"Yes, hot water for two!" Liu Qing replied.

"Shame!" Qiao Shuang said and left.

"Your Majesty, let me get down first." Qiao Wan remained motionless, for fear that if he moved, he would tire Liu Qing, so he just spoke orally.

In fact, although Qiao Wan is tall, she is slender, but this weight is really not worth mentioning to Liu Qing, especially when she holds her waist with one hand and her legs with the other, which is very easy to do, and it is not tiring to say the least.

"You can't put it down!" Liu Qing said, walked to the door, hooked the door with his foot, closed it, and said politely to Qiao: "Wan'er, please reach out and bolt it!"

The servants at home would not be so bold as to enter the house without being summoned, but Qiao Shuang was not necessarily so.

It would be bad if he gets hit again while making love.

Liu Qing took a few steps to come to the couch. The quilt on the couch had been replaced by a light blue brocade quilt from the red wedding quilt last time. Liu Qing placed Qiao Wan on it and looked at it intently.

Qiao Wan bent her legs, showing off her graceful figure, her face was red, and her eyes were twitching. She still had that quiet and gentle feeling, and that alluring face made Liu Qing's eyes wander.

Just looking at it like this is a kind of enjoyment.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"

Liu Qing was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and turned to look at the window.

At this moment, the light outside was bright, casting a small dark shadow by the window.

Now, with Liu Qing's fighting instincts, this news would naturally not be hidden from him.

But after thinking about it for a moment, she knew that Qiao Shuang was outside the window. She must have gone to give orders to the waiter, and then turned back to satisfy her curiosity.

That's it?

Liu Qing smiled slightly, threw off his boots, jumped onto the bed, and then untied the curtain. Suddenly, a curtain completely blocked off the scenery on the bed, leaving only one person to enjoy it.
