It was already afternoon when we returned to the imperial camp.
The plateau was overcrowded, and the families of the accompanying ministers all gathered on the plateau to live. The camp below was vacated and occupied by the family members of Lieutenant General Dong Chengying. They were also crowded one after another, just like a market.
It's just that everyone, male, female, old and young, has no energy, moves slowly, and their eyes are a little dull.
Along the way, Liu Xie was stared at by countless pairs of dull eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
But he could only hold on, hold out his chest, and take steady steps, one step at a time.
The queen Fushou, the noble Song Dynasty came out of the tent to greet her, and Dong Wan also walked out of the tent next door.
After not seeing each other for a few days, they all lost a lot of weight. Dong Wan didn't even have the energy to speak, and he completely lost the youthful vitality he had before.
Tang Ji also came out of the tent next door, stood at the entrance of the tent, and saluted the emperor. Seeing Jia Xu beside her, she specially saluted Jia Xu.
Jia Xu greeted with a smile.
Liu Xie ordered people to take Jia Xu to rest. As a confidant, Jia Xu had an independent tent, just next to the imperial tent, less than a few steps away. The voice was slightly louder, and he could even talk without leaving the tent.
"Are you sick?" Liu Xie entered the tent, took off his helmet, handed it to Song Du, but looked at Dong Wan.
"Hungry." Dong Wan pouted, looking aggrieved.
Fu Shou stepped forward, took off Liu Xie's coat, and said calmly: "According to your majesty's edict, we will have one meal during the solar eclipse from today. Although your majesty is not in the camp, I dare not disobey the edict. I probably know that your majesty will return today, Wan
My sister went out to check the tent many times, which exhausted her energy and made her hungry before it got dark."
Song Du bit his lip and tried his best to hold back his laughter.
Dong Wan blushed and glared at Fu Shou fiercely, but did not dare to refute.
Liu Xie said to Dong Wan: "You change your clothes and go with me to General Anji's camp later."
Dong Wan couldn't help but feel happy and left happily.
Fu Shou frowned slightly and lowered his head. "Your Majesty has just returned to the camp and is going to inspect General Anji's camp again?"
Liu Xie sat down and took a sip of water. "We captured several rangers the night before yesterday, and Li Jue has arrived in Zheng County."
Li Jue's name seemed to have a magical power, and both Fu Shou and Song Dynasty shuddered in unison. Fu Shou froze for a moment, turned around, took out a piece of clothing, and waited for Liu Xie to change.
Her hands are cold.
Song Du came over to help, his steps were heavy.
Liu Xie waved his hand, indicating that they didn't have to worry. He stared at them for a while and coughed lightly.
"Do you think I can defeat Li Jue and Guo Si?"
"Of course I believe it." Fu Shou said in a low voice.
Song Du hesitated for a moment and nodded, but he used too much force and the hairpin on his head fell off, and Liu Xie reached out to catch it.
"No, you don't believe it." Liu Xie held up his hairpin, stood up, and inserted it again for Song Du. "You don't believe it, how can you make others believe it? There are so many eyes outside watching. As long as one person cries, he will immediately
They will burst into tears.”
Song Du was caught off guard, blushed all of a sudden and stood stupidly.
Fu Shou stared at Liu Xie's hand and frowned more and more.
Song Du twisted his body uneasily, took a step back, and got out of the way of Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, your hand..." Fu Shou stepped forward and held Liu Xie's hand, his face turned pale.
Liu Xie smiled. "It's okay. General Ning Ji and I are just a blood-blooded alliance."
"Blood-based alliance?"
"Well." Liu Xie withdrew his hand and brushed a stray strand of hair from Fu Shou's temples. "Without General Ning Ji's food, how can we hold on safely? Without General Ning Ji's attack on Zhang Ji, the imperial court would be defeated at any time.
I have to do this when it comes to life and death."
Fu Shou pursed his lips and stared at Liu Xie's hand. "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Liu Xie clenched his fists. "Now I can even pick up the knife and go into battle."
Fu Shou sighed softly. "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do."
Song Du stood aside, looked at Liu Xie's hand, licked his lips, looked frightened, and could not say a word.
——
Liu Xie changed his clothes and went out of the tent. Dong Wan, already dressed in Hu clothes, was waiting outside the tent.
When she was in the palace, she was very active and liked to wear light and close-fitting Hu clothes, so she was favored by the late emperor.
"Your Majesty, let's go." Dong Wan shook his riding whip and glanced at Fu Shou, who was wearing turban, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Wait a moment."
Liu Xie turned around and walked towards Tang Ji's tent. Tang Ji heard the footsteps and came out to greet him, almost colliding with Liu Xie. Liu Xie quickly stopped and took a step back.
"Sister-in-law."
Tang Ji bowed and saluted. "Your Majesty, this is..."
"Li Jue is coming soon, and I will go to inspect the camps. The queen will arrange matters on the plains. If there is anything I don't take advantage of, I hope my sister-in-law can help."
Tang Ji looked at Fu Shou, who bent her knees to greet her. Tang Ji smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty is serious. Although the queen is young, she comes from a noble family and behaves in a very orderly manner. There is no need for me to talk."
Liu Xie turned around and glanced at the family members of the ministers outside the imperial camp.
Countless people stood at the door of the tent, looking this way. When Liu Xie looked over, some stepped back, while others stood indifferently.
"The war is approaching, and people will inevitably be panicked. I hope my sister-in-law can help the queen and calm people's hearts. If someone behaves wildly and the queen cannot lose face for a while, please ask my sister-in-law to mediate." Liu Xie looked back at Fu Shou and chuckled softly.
Said: "The queen has read a lot, but she has never seen the suffering of the people. If she encounters it, she will inevitably not be able to cope with it."
After hearing this, Fu Shou stepped forward and saluted. "Sister-in-law, I'm done with your work."
Seeing Fu Shou taking the initiative to show his kindness, Tang Ji also softened her expression, said a few polite words, and agreed.
Liu Xie turned around and asked Dong Wan to leave together.
He walked in front, his steps not fast but steady, with a slight smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, you look so pretty when you smile." Dong Wan followed up, tilted his head, looked at Liu Xie, and said with a smile.
"I don't look good if I don't laugh?" Liu Xie deliberately joked with Dong Wan.
The atmosphere on the field was too tense, and he needed to set an example and show his confidence in winning.
He still has confidence in his appearance. Not to mention the late Emperor Liu Hong, his biological mother Wang Meiren was a beautiful woman from the Zhao country who was intelligent, kind and caring, with a tall figure and outstanding appearance.
"Hmm..." Dong Wan thought for a while. "It's good-looking, but... hard to get close to. What's more, the majesty of the heavenly family is too great, and they don't like the fireworks of the world."
As Dong Wan spoke, he raised his head and blinked.
Liu Xie turned his head and glanced at Dong Wan, a little speechless.
This girl has been suppressed by Fu Shou these days. She is so arrogant and vindictive. She deliberately teases the emperor in front of so many people. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to irritate Fu Shou?
"It seems that you are still too full." Liu Xie said.
"No." Dong Wan suddenly pursed his lips and touched his belly. "Look, Your Majesty, there is no flesh left at all."
A woman on the roadside heard this clearly, looked at Dong Wan seriously, and sighed: "It turns out that queen, nobles are really like us, they only eat one meal a day. I thought it was just talk."
As he spoke, he patted the sobbing child who was leaning next to him. "Do you see that the nobles only eat one meal a day, and you still dare to cry? If you cry again, you will be sent to the Xiliang people's cauldron and cooked for others to eat.
.”
The child turned pale with fright, raised his hands, and covered his mouth tightly.
