The chirping of mountain birds was clear and sweet, awakening the shameless couple.
Under the mountain stream surrounded by dense forests not far from Shanhaiguan, the sound of gurgling water was playing music. The haggard young man Liu lay on a neat stone slab and basked in the sun, rubbing his waist and sighing from time to time.
Voice.
He glanced at the spring not far away from time to time, looking at the beautiful shadows reflecting the luster under the spring water, his eyes were upright and without the slightest evil thoughts.
"To put it bluntly, have you washed yourself? If you don't hurry up, you won't be able to enter Daizhou again."
Qianying looked back slightly, smiled leisurely, and then the playful voice reached Young Master Liu's ears.
"What's the matter? Anyway, there's still a long time before the war comes again. At worst, we can just sit there all night!"
Liu Dashao, who looked lazy, shook his body and jumped up from the stone slab like a carp. He didn't seem to have any backache at all.
He grabbed the Liuyan Shang on one side and ran towards the spring, and started to dress up under the Queen's reluctant response.
Young Master Liu, who had never been good at makeup, seemed to have become a little expert in makeup. He restored the queen's appearance to the one she had worn when they met yesterday.
Except for the fact that there is no more powder and rouge on her pretty face, it is exactly the same as yesterday.
Young Master Liu looked at the queen with a somewhat resentful expression with satisfaction, and applauded himself in admiration.
"I didn't expect that this young master has such wonderful craftsmanship. When he retires and returns to his hometown in the future, he will have an extra ability to support his family."
The Queen rolled her eyes at the smug Young Master Liu with a bit of disdain in her eyes: "Panic can make a person omnipotent. This statement is indeed true!"
Young Master Liu heard the teasing tone in the Queen's words and ignored it.
He raised his hand and held the Queen's bright wrist as he climbed up the mountain rock.
"To put it bluntly, in my mind you are a fairy who cannot be blasphemed. I suggest that from now on we should be more affectionate and less polite."
"What do you think? Don't you think that spiritual communication is better than anything else?"
The Queen's bright eyes glanced at Young Master Liu's unnatural expression, broke away from Young Master Liu's pull, rushed to her back, and held her arms tightly around Young Master Liu's neck.
"No, no, no, I think it's better if the love is deep and strong."
"My daughter is almost ten years old. You told me that being in love is a matter of being in love and being in love is a matter of courtesy. Don't you think you are talking nonsense?"
"One hundred taels of silver, I bet you still have bullets in your gun!"
Young Master Liu's face froze, and he shook his head like a rattle: "Gambling harms people, if you don't gamble, you won't gamble!"
The Queen twisted Young Master Liu's ears with a dissatisfied look, but was reluctant to exert any force. Young Master Liu couldn't care less. She hugged the Queen's slender and strong legs and climbed towards Shanhaiguan as light as Yun Zhongyan.
After half a stick of incense, Liu Mingzhi looked back at Yingzhou City behind him under the hesitant eyes of the Queen, waved his riding whip and galloped away in the direction of Daizhou City in the Jin Kingdom.
The journey he took as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin ten years ago will be repeated ten years later by Young Master Liu and Queen Wanyan of the Kingdom of Jin.
When the Queen saw this, her hesitant expression finally relaxed. She looked back at Yingzhou behind her, and then stared at the back of Young Master Liu as he galloped for a moment. She waved her whip and clamped the horse's belly in pursuit of Young Master Liu.
Go up.
From the rising sun to the zenith in the sky, the two galloping horses finally slowed down and walked slowly on the official road leading to Daizhou.
Both of them took off the water bags on their horses and fed their beloved mounts with water. However, the Queen fed her with fine spring water, while Young Master Liu fed her with fine wine.
The Queen put away the water bag and stroked the horse's mane. She hesitated for a long time and turned to look at Young Master Liu who had just straightened up.
"Heartless, do you hate polite words?"
Liu Mingzhi, who was about to drink, froze, with an unspeakable expression on his face.
"Where does the word hate come from?"
"Dalong Wuzong Li Baiyu!"
When Liu Mingzhi heard this, the sadness in his eyes flashed away, he gently raised his wine bag and drank.
"Are you referring to the fact that you ordered Yue'er to come to Beijing as a bait and shout to sow discord between me and the late emperor and his ministers, and instigated the brothers Li Yunlong to rebel, thereby killing the late emperor Wuzong?"
The queen's delicate body trembled and her eyes dodge slightly, not daring to look at Liu Mingzhi's sad and indifferent eyes.
Liu Mingzhi's tone was too calm, and he said calmly that the Queen couldn't tell what his mood was at the moment.
From an ordinary person's point of view, based on his understanding of Liu Mingzhi, he should not be so calm, so calm that he felt a little overwhelmed.
Even a little panicked.
The queen's jade fingers holding the horse's reins were shaking constantly. It can be seen how unpeaceful the queen was at this moment!
"You...you...know everything?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, not showing much pride, but just kept drinking.
"There is no airtight wall in the world, and nothing can withstand scrutiny."
"As long as you analyze carefully, you will find that there are no secrets in this world."
"Especially for beings in our position, there will be no secrets."
"As long as you want to know, spend some money, you will eventually find out!"
The Queen pursed her lips gently and glanced at the scenery on both sides of the official road, but she did not dare to fall on Young Master Liu, who had a dull face.
"Then do you hate me? I know that you and Li Baiyu have a deep brotherhood. He died under my calculations. I politely killed your good brother. Will you blame me?"
Liu Mingzhi put away the wine bag, sighed quietly, and looked at the queen who looked uneasy.
"Why do I hate you?"
The Queen was startled and looked at Young Master Liu. You could clearly see the joy in the Queen's eyes.
"You really don't hate it?"
"Plain words! What is your relationship with the late emperor?"
"Enemies, natural enemies. I am Emperor Dajin, and he is Emperor Dalong. We were destined to be enemies from the moment we ascended the throne!"
"Yes, you are enemies. From my point of view, you killed my eldest brother with a trick. From your point of view, you just got rid of an enemy who blocked your way forward."
"Maybe I will be sad because of the death of my eldest brother, but I will not resent you."
"He is serving the country and the people, and you are also serving the country and the people."
"From a moral perspective, none of you are wrong, it's just the world that is wrong."
"Wanyan, do you still remember? The two of us have said more than once that in fact, neither of us is wrong, it's just that our positions are different."
"If I were in your position, I might do something more extreme and excessive than you."
"I can understand your difficulties, just as you understand mine."
"If my eldest brother stabilizes the imperial court like my father and holds the power, with Da Long's previous power, maybe you will be the one who dies."
"Therefore, I don't think it is a shameful thing to risk the enemy and die, let alone something unspeakable."
"You, me, the late emperor, the people of Dalong, the people of Jin, and the Turks are all just pawns in the human game."
"The fate of a chess piece is destined to capture another hostile chess piece."
"In other words, if I conquer the Kingdom of Jin, I will let you live, but the late emperor may not let you mother and daughter live, because you are his enemy and he has a reason to kill you."
"Just like you planned to kill him for the sake of unifying the world."
"The way of heaven shows its majesty, but all living things are like ants."
"This is the fate of the chess pieces."
"The fundamental reason for the great success of the late Emperor is simply because he lost the chess game with your Kingdom of Jin!"
