Thinking of the arrogant girl, Liu Bei was both greedy and afraid, and this was the case since he got married in Jingkou.
He was greedy for Mrs. Sun's energetic body, and when he was in love with her in the boudoir, Mrs. Sun's shyness and boldness were sometimes greedy. It made him feel as if he had regained his youth and returned to his energetic youth. Mrs. Sun shone into the bright sunshine of his life, allowing him to indulge in chasing the happiness of the world. He was also afraid of Mrs. Sun's stubbornness and willfulness, especially when this willfulness relies on her brother's power to continue to exert, she did not consider any self-discipline at all. In order to meet a ridiculous requirement, she would even force her husband to sword.
Liu Bei was angry at his fear because it was not a normal emotional conflict between husband and wife. This fear was entirely due to fear of Wu Hou's powerful power. He also understood that for a long time, he had to bow to Mrs. Sun, because it meant bowing to Wu Hou. I really didn't know when I could dominate the party with my head held high and stretch my mind to the fullest without being forced by anyone.
Only by relying on people's hearts, only by constantly winning the hearts of the people in the world! Liu Bei cheered up and said to himself.
"Let's go!" He greeted Wei Yan and urged his horse to move forward.
Not long after, the cavalry team saw the Public Security City, which was built out of thin air within a few months, and Liu Bei bet on it to participate in the planning. Under the hazy night, the undulating building edges in the city showed a silver-gray outline, which looked very beautiful.
When he got to the vicinity, he found that the city gate was not closed immediately, and several people stood in front of the gate.
Liu Bei was a little unhappy.
He waved his whip and urged his horse to come to the city gate to ask, "Why is the city gate not closed? Where are the city gate captains and prison gates? After just a few days of peace, are they actually lazy to this extent?"
Gong'an City is the garrison of General Zuo and the hub for controlling the four counties in Jingnan. At such an important point, the city gate was opened at night. If there was any chance, it would be like rubbing one's throat against the enemy's blade! Such a relaxed and unprepared behavior fell into the eyes of Liu Bei, a veteran of a hundred battles, and it was really hard to accept.
As he asked, someone in the door knelt on the ground, knocking his head repeatedly, but without saying a word.
In the shadow of the door, another man came out slowly and bowed to Liu Beisu: "Don't be upset, this is the wife's order, and he has nothing to do with the city gate captain and the supervisor. The man was running outside for a day and did not return late at night. The wife was very anxious, so she ordered the city gate to remain closed and sent me to wait here."
Liu Bei narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him with a sharp look.
If Fan Hong was here, he would probably recognize him immediately. The pretty girl in front of him was the beautiful boy who spoke with him today on behalf of the host of the cavalry team outside Lexiang City. However, now he has returned to women's clothing. Although the girl's eyebrows are low and under the moonlight, she clearly sees her face calm. Even if she faces the thunderous anger of the heroic leader of Jingzhou, she does not look particularly afraid.
Liu Bei knew that this was Qiupu, a maid who was inseparable from Mrs. Sun in daily life. When he was in Jingkou, Mrs. Sun had any big and small matters. Usually when Qiupu came forward, Wu Hou's subordinates would give in. However, this place was not Jiangdong, but Jingzhou. How could Qiupu actually order officials to open the city gate?
"So it's Qiupu..." After a while, Liu Bei said with joy: "I came back today a little late. No wonder my wife was anxious. However, the city gate should not be opened without authorization at night. I will mention this to my wife. Don't do this again in the future... I'll go home first, you follow me slowly, don't worry."
Liu Bei went straight to the mansion, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the backyard.
On the way, he glanced at the front hall, and there was still candlelight in one of the rooms. It was getting late, and most of the subordinates had returned to their homes to rest. If it were on weekdays, Liu Bei would definitely go and see who was still busy and chatted about gossip, but at this moment he was unhappy and didn't care about so much.
The entire public security city was originally a camp established by Liu Bei in the Youkou to gather refugees in Jingzhou. Later, because there were a large number of scholars coming to Jingchu, it gradually expanded and built a city. The Left General's Mansion on the northeast side of the city was the place of the camp at that time. Later, due to the expansion of power and the expansion of various military and political meetings, it was transformed into a house with two entry points. As soon as it entered the front, it was for its servants to use, and as soon as it entered the back, it was Liu Bei's daily life and place to convene discussions.
Because the local area is narrow and the officials and subordinates of the various officials and subordinates are crowded together to work, and even the military advisor and general Zhuge Liang had to work with Liao Li and Pan Jun to share a big house. Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was also responsible for supervising the taxation and military funds of Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha counties. He often went out to inspect, so Liao Li and Pan Jun could stretch their legs and feet slightly.
When Liu Bei went to Jingkou to join Wuhou, his subordinates vacated a flat ground behind the house, and at the same time reinforcing and extending the wall, connecting the exterior wall of the Left General's Mansion with the city wall in the northeast corner of Gong'an City. On this flat ground, buildings, buildings such as buildings, corridors, and partitions were built for the inner houses, ponds were opened and trees were transplanted. Although the scale was still a little small, it was not magnificent enough. Fortunately, it was exquisite and the required functions were perfect.
However, Mrs. Sun didn't like this courtyard. On the first day she came here, she complained several times. Sometimes she felt that the residence was not grand enough, sometimes she felt that there was a lack of place to visit and recreation in the garden, and sometimes she felt that there was no treasure in the house to entertain her eyes. Liu Bei had no choice but to allow her to transform it according to her own wishes. So in the past few days, the backyard was still the same day, and Liu Bei couldn't imagine what he would see again today.
Sure enough, when I entered the backyard at this moment, the situation I saw was very different from yesterday. On the floor of the corridor, a thick felt carpet was laid, and my feet were stepped on it, and even my instep was not in the soft fluff; the beautiful curtains were hanging from the beams everywhere, and the ends of the ribbons tied with the curtains swung lightly in the wind, causing the wrapped pearl and jade pendant to make a slight and pleasant impact sound; on the wall painted with white gray, colorful carpets were hung, and the bright color blocks impacted Liu Bei's vision, making him feel dizzy.
Seeing Liu Bei approaching, the maids along both sides of the corridor shouted and bowed in unison. The neat and graceful posture suddenly made Liu Bei's heart beat faster.
"Have you rested, Madam?" he asked.
Qiupu Xiao panted and walked forward quickly from behind, saying obediently: "Mrs. He said he wanted to wait for you, but now he doesn't think he has a rest."
Liu Bei nodded and continued to move forward.
Along the way, a servant opened the curtain for him, and every move was just right, so that the curtain was rolling and opened in front of him, and then closed with his body; with his pace, the exquisite cloud patterns woven into pieces floated in front of him like real clouds.
Liu Bei is not an uninformed slut. He has received extremely favors and kindness in Xuzhou, Xuchang, and Yecheng. He has also seen countless big figures and big scenes with his own eyes. However, such beautiful scenes, such hard-working service by dozens, hundreds or even more people, is indeed intoxicating. Before he knew it, his mood improved a lot.
When the last curtain was opened, Liu Bei saw Mrs. Sun sitting sideways beside the couch, leaning against Yipeng and dozing. As her head gradually lowered, her slender and beautiful neck revealed, and a drop of crystal saliva flowed down from the corner of her mouth, slapped on her crimson dark clothes and melted.
Liu Bei made a low gesture to Qiupu and came to Mrs. Sun gently. He squatted down, heard the girl's weak breathing, and saw her trembling instant hair, her lips as soft as petals and delicate nose bridge; he couldn't help but stick out his hand and gently touched her cheek.
This action alarmed Mrs. Sun. The girl opened her eyes a little confusedly, looked at Liu Bei, and then smiled happily: "Mr. Lang, you are back!"
Although she was much older, Mrs. Sun admired her husband very much. After all, she was a famous hero all over the world! She subconsciously held Liu Bei's robe corner, pulled him towards her, and then pushed him away.
Liu Bei was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Sun used her hands to push Liu Bei away.
"Come! Come!" she shouted: "Take the head of the family to take a shower first!"
The maids who had no idea what corner of the house were hiding, rushed up and gathered Liu Bei in the center and walked towards another room.
Yingying, the fragrant wind blew, Liu Bei was dizzy and at a loss. When he woke up, he was already bare-barred and sat in a huge bathtub. Warm hot water poured in a basin, and it was not until he reached his chest. The steaming heat had a misty fragrance, which made Liu Bei feel indescribable. If he had five points of anger at the city gate, he would only have three points left when he saw Mrs. Sun. At this moment, even that three points of anger could not be heard. Why was the city gate not closed late at night? It was obvious that the city gate captain was dereliction of duty. The lady had just arrived and didn't know the rules. How could she blame her?
While enjoying the fun, Mrs. Sun's voice sounded outside the tent: "Mr. Lang, I have something to do today. I have thought about it and I have to tell you."
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Liu Bei said in a whisper.
"Today I went out of the city and wandered to Lexiang... I was blocked by the cavalry team of the side general Lei Xu. But as you told me, I did not argue with them... and gave them twenty brocades!"
Mrs. Sun is not the kind of evil person who completely ignores the ideas around her. When she went out to the city for a few times, she caused several disputes because of fighting with others or trampling on the seedlings. Liu Bei had already tactfully reminded her. She also took more money with her with her to compensate for her losses and did not bully her with power.
So at this moment, she talked about this with a little bit of pride, as if she had done a good thing, waiting for her husband's praise.
Of course, it is probably a bit too much to trigger a confrontation of hundreds of cavalry. But wasn’t Qiupu just sent to greet the city gate just now? He also arranged a very comfortable bath. With this intention, my husband would definitely not be angry, right?
Liu Bei was speechless for a moment.
Before he went to Jingkou, he had a deep conversation with Lei Xuzhi overnight, and both sides clarified the distinction between master and subordinate. But Liu Bei naturally would not think that the loyalty and trust between the monarch and his ministers would be unbreakable. This requires the joint efforts of both parties to manage, and he also needs to constantly give and contribute in actual interests and feelings, so that Lei Yuan himself and the huge clan forces behind him can be completely returned to his heart.
According to Mrs. Sun, it must be that she rode in Lexiang that caused the unhappiness of the Lujiang Lei family. For this powerful clan, the material compensation of twenty brocades is nothing. I still have to send Jian Yong to come tomorrow, and at least say hello to comfort me...
Just as he was thinking about this, the noise from servants and maids suddenly came from the corridor outside the house. Someone lined up to stop everyone, and his armor was clanging and he walked quickly.
The sound of the collision of armor leaves was like a biting sword stabbing towards the door, which made Liu Bei suddenly excited.
He jumped out of the bathtub, grabbed his clothes in a splash, and asked sternly, "What's the matter?"
A familiar voice sounded outside the house: "Lord, Zhao Yun is here, there is an emergency military situation."
