After lunch, Qin Liang planned to inspect the garrison in various places again. He would set out tomorrow morning to welcome the Queen Mother Guo back.
At this time in Luoyang City, the original soldiers of the New Fifth Battalion had become prisoners. Although they were still stationed in the barracks, they did not have armor or weapons. The only armed soldiers and horses were the 50,000 to 60,000 elite soldiers of King Qin's army, including the Lujiang military garrison.
The people who commanded the troops were Linghuyu, Wang Feixiao, Wang Jinhu, Yang Wei and others, so it wasn't a big problem.
After Qin Liang led his army into the city, he was very restrained in the use of power and did not rush to issue even an imperial edict to the local area. Because all the civil and military officials from Luoyang to the local area knew that the previous edict was Sima Yi's intention, and the current one was
The edict was Qin Liang's idea.
Only by welcoming Empress Dowager Guo back to the palace first can we legitimately use the imperial power and stabilize the situation. Empress Dowager Guo is the emperor's adoptive mother, and her identity is Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager. It will be much more beautiful if she takes the initiative.
Since finishing the Battle of Yique Pass, Qin Liang has been very busy all day long. He has met a lot of people and often goes to see the situation. But he does not feel tired. Maybe he is not active enough. When he goes out, he usually rides a horse or rides a car.
I am limited by the amount of information I can speak, so I am not nervous.
That day on the Yiqueguan battlefield, he was indeed very excited, but he always felt that he was not completely happy and thankful.
He remembered that on New Year's Eve, people had to stay up all night vigil, making themselves very tired during the festival. Maybe doing that is really a way of celebrating. People can only feel happy after exhausting their physical strength.
A perfect end to the festive season.
At this time, the maids took away the bowls and chopsticks and cleared the small chopping board.
Mrs. Bai also left the hall. As expected, mother-in-law Zhuge Shu came again.
When greeting each other, Zhuge Shu looked timid, as if she was at a loss. In addition, she was just a beautiful and fair girl in her teenage years, and she looked a bit pitiful. For a while, Qin Liang couldn't figure out who the elder was.
.
Zhuge Dan, the governor of Yangzhou, ran away at the beginning of the army, but this was not a matter that Zhuge Shu could decide. When Wang Guang ran away, it seemed that he had nothing to do with Zhuge Shu.
But when the consequences were examined, it was clear that Zhuge Shu had a relationship with them again.
"Grandma." Qin Liang called out to remind Zhuge Shu.
Zhuge Shu suddenly realized, raised his head and asked: "Will your uncle divorce me?"
Qin Liang said truthfully: "This kind of housework should not be decided by me as a junior."
Zhuge Shu had a worried look in her eyes and glanced at Qin Liang. The two looked at each other for a moment.
Zhuge Shu looks so much like her sister, which is not common even if they are biological sisters. With her fair and delicate skin and elegant and innocent appearance, she seems to be the one next door who always makes people miss her.
's little sister.
After Qin Liang returned to Luoyang, there were always women wandering in front of him from time to time, and he had no time to find the right one. Looking at Zhuge Shu at this time, Qin Liang couldn't help but carefully appreciate the unique female curves.
Of course, he just looked at it and knew very well that Zhuge Shu could not move.
However, Qin Liang felt that Zhuge Dan's matter could not be blamed on her. If Zhuge Shu could influence the decision, she would probably not be willing to marry Wang Guang in the first place. So Qin Liang gave a good hint: "Your Majesty and I
They all respect grandma."
Zhuge Shu immediately whispered: "I also like Zhongming, your Majesty."
The voice had the coquettish tone of an underage girl. When Qin Liang heard this, he felt a little confused. He took a deep breath and felt that the awe-inspiring righteousness in his body was becoming more and more out of control. It was just pure
Chemistry problem.
So Qin Liang immediately said: "I have something to do this afternoon, let's talk about it later. My grandma will wait for everyone to come back, so don't worry too much."
Zhuge Shu felt a little disappointed and said, "Zhong Ming's business is more important."
After saying goodbye, Qin Liang walked out of the front hall courtyard and soon saw Rao Dashan, Huang Yuan and others.
Huang Yuan was the banker on the south bank of the Luo River, and his name was also given by Qin Liang. After the Luoyang War, this big man was entrusted by the school affairs office Zhu Deng many times to go to Lujiang to deliver messages. Qin Liang immediately put him in the Lujiang River when he returned to Luoyang.
As a confidant and follower.
Rao Dashan held a small scroll of slips and said: "The letter sent by the Zhuge family is about to be delivered to the courtyard."
Qin Liang took it and opened it and saw that the handwriting was neat and elegant, so he looked at the inscription at the end. Sure enough, it was Zhuge's post and not Zhuge Dan's handwriting. Zhuge claimed that he had something to discuss in person and wanted to see Qin Liang.
This was probably Zhuge Dan's intention. That day when he met King Qin's army at Xuanyang Gate, Zhuge Dan did not show up. However, he sent his second daughter back to the Wang family first. At this time, he discovered that Qin Liang had made a special trip to rescue the eldest daughter and instigated the eldest daughter to mediate.
, obviously looking for ways to protect themselves.
Zhuge Dan was a three-way bettor, so it was impossible for him to be a die-hard loyalist to the Sima family. In fact, most bureaucrats at this level would not be loyal to a particular individual, but sometimes they had no choice.
Qin Liang turned to look at the gatehouse of the Wang family's residence and thought of what Bai said earlier. This place was indeed crowded with people, which was different from the situation where there were multiple courtyards outside Lujiang County Mansion.
He then said in a deep voice to Rao Dashan: "You know that place, go and pick him up in the courtyard of Lejinli. I'll meet you after I'm done."
Rao Dashan cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
After saying this, Qin Liang got on the carriage and called his subordinates to set off.
Luoyang City is quite big. Qin Liang walked around from Sima Gate, the General's Mansion to various city gate stations, and had to say a few words to the generals. After running through many places, the sun was almost setting.
At this time, he remembered his appointment with Zhuge again, so he led his troops to Lejinli.
The courtyard has hardly changed. Even the Bai family disliked the place, but Qin Liang felt a sense of intimacy after coming back. However, it had been unoccupied for a long time, and it lacked a sense of fireworks.
Rao Dashan stepped forward and whispered: "The servant has invited someone to the upper room."
Qin Liang nodded and said: "Okay."
The door to the upper room was open. Qin Liang walked up to the platform and saw Zhuge after entering the door. She immediately got up from the mat beside the wall and bowed to Qin Liang.
Qin Liang returned the courtesy and said: "Madam, please take a seat." He also found a rope bed and sat down beside it casually.
Zhuge was much more generous and took the initiative to say: "I was in a hurry at Taifu's Mansion before, but today I have the opportunity to prepare a small gift to express my gratitude. Zhongming came to the rescue, and we all dare not forget it..."
Qin Liang did not listen carefully to her words, and his attention was quickly attracted by her unique appearance. She has a well-proportioned face, not big, but a small nose and small mouth, with a simple and elegant temperament. Under the light eyebrows, she has single eyelid eyes.
But she is vaguely charming. The outline of the fabric on the side of her breast is particularly curious.
He hadn't been close to a woman for a long time, so it was easy for Qin Liang to think only of women. Moreover, he had a strange thought. The more Zhuge wanted to avoid being touched easily, the more he wanted to touch her.
What's more, this Zhuge family is just Sima Min's wife, the wife of a sinner.
Zhuge was talking when she suddenly stopped. She stared at Qin Liang's blue robe with an awkward expression.
Then she raised her eyes to look at Qin Liang's face. Seeing that Qin Liang was still looking at her carefully, she immediately averted her eyes and blurted out: "Isn't Zhong Ming not interested in women?"
Qin Liang told the truth: "Madam is very unique."
Zhuge's cheeks immediately turned red.
Qin Liang pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Madam, please obey me, and I will protect the Zhuge family from being implicated."
Zhuge's eyes suddenly became very complicated. She must have a purpose for coming to meet today, and Zhuge Dan didn't come himself, but he asked his eldest daughter to come, so he probably gave her a hint.
Qin Liang then stood up, walked to the door of the back room, and greeted, "Let's come to this room to talk in detail."
Zhuge stood up hesitantly and walked over silently. She walked past Qin Liang, who was tall. He glanced at the skin under the lining of her collar, and seemed to hear a "buzz" in his head.
Zhengqi has completely lost control.
Qin Liang didn't say much, and gently reached out to hold Zhuge's delicate hand.
Zhuge immediately took her hand away as if she had been burned with a soldering iron. But Qin Liang gently closed the wooden door and simply hugged her further. Zhuge was startled and trembled while trying to break free.
Asked: "Can Zhong Ming really do it?"
Qin Liang put his mouth close to her ear and whispered: "I don't decide the matter alone. But the princes will pay attention to my words at this time, and I also have a way to convince them, and the result is almost the same."
Zhuge gradually stopped struggling, but a white hand still pulled Qin Liang's arm hard. She seemed not to know what to do for a moment.
She turned her head to observe Qin Liang's expression. Because Qin Liang was holding her, their faces were very close to each other, and Qin Liang took the opportunity to kiss her lips.
Zhuge immediately turned his head away from Qin Liang, and his ears under the tips of his black hair were also scratched.
"Alas!" Mr. Zhuge sighed softly, "I am a dead flower and a willow, and my seniority is wrong. Zhongming should let me go. I abandoned my husband and lived alone, and I want to do such a thing again immediately. Am I too much?
Broken?" She was reluctant, which must be true.
But there is no seniority or blood relationship at all. Besides, if Wang Guang can take care of his own bride, can he also take care of Zhuge's family? At this point, how could Qin Liang be willing to give up halfway? He said in a deep voice: "Don't tell anyone.
Just don’t admit it and it’ll be fine.”
Zhuge no longer resisted, so Qin Liang slowly pushed her onto the couch and let her lie on her back. He found a ball of silk cloth, threw it next to Zhuge's head, and reminded: "Don't make too loud a sound for a while."
Big brother, it's really best not to make this matter public." Zhuge tilted his head to one side, seeming a little angry: "I can't say anything!"
She closed her eyes tightly and held her hands in front of her. Qin Liang slowly took her hands away. Zhuge finally remained motionless and allowed Qin Liang to pull her belt. After a while, her voice choked again:
"Two days ago, Zhong Ming said that I was filial and deliberately helped me understand. He also said that you would be scared and he kindly comforted me. But I didn't expect that you turned out to be such a person."
Qin Liang was a little embarrassed to say it, but what was the point of stopping now that the matter was over?
