The courtyard here is not big, but the scenery is very good. Pan Shu looked up and could see the pavilions and pavilions outside the courtyard. The blue sky was filled with white clouds, and the mountains were in the distance, which gave people a sense of openness and grandeur. If you take a closer look at the eaves and brackets nearby, you will see that they are also very beautifully built.
Pan Shu had just finished bathing and changing clothes. After soaking in hot water, her body felt a little tired, but her mood also relaxed.
She was probably more familiar. She was deceived and abducted before, and gradually moved away from her hometown. No matter what Ma Mao said, she would inevitably be filled with fear! She would subconsciously think of those people who abducted people, and she didn't know what kind of inhuman treatment she would encounter. Don't know what will happen.
Until she actually came to Luoyang, she wasn't so panicked. No matter what Soochow said, Wei's monarchs and ministers were exposed for their cruelty, Luoyang was the capital of Wei after all, there were so many people, and there were rules among the officials and the people, so it was better than living in the wilderness. The countryside makes people feel at ease.
And Qin Liang is a great general of the Wei State, and a famous general. His reputation is not limited to the Wei State, which is more reassuring than Ma Mao.
In addition, Pan Shu saw Qin Liang's appearance at the city gate, heard what he said, and saw his tone and demeanor. With such a demeanor, Pan Shu knew what was going on after only seeing him once. As bad as imagined!
At this time, there was a burst of voices from the gatehouse. The little palace maid quickly came in with something, put a plate of sesame cakes on the wooden table, bent down and said: "The lady just sent me some things, sesame cakes." The cake is still warm."
It can be seen that the palace maid who followed Pan Shu is no longer panicked. The palace maid is illiterate, but where she lives and how others treat her, of course she is not a fool and can feel it.
Pan Shu smelled the fragrance and couldn't help but pick it up and bite a small piece to taste. Unexpectedly, it was crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. It tasted pretty good, so she ate half a piece and gave the remaining sesame cake to the palace maid to taste.
After a while, there was a faint voice from the direction of the gate tower. Pan Shu walked to the Kui pattern carving window and took a look. Her heart suddenly tightened. She saw a tall man wearing a small crown. He had walked to the patio. Who is Qin Liang?
Pan Shu was abducted to the State of Wei and presented as a beauty to the general of Wei State by Ma Mao. It seemed that she would not suffer any maltreatment, but being raped and humiliated was inevitable!
Especially Pan Shu's beauty, it is almost impossible to survive! Of course she knew that she was beautiful and charming. When she was sent into the weaving room, hundreds of people stayed away from her, saying that she was not a human woman. Later, she entered the weaving room. In the palace, she had a bad relationship with almost all the concubines, and all of them were jealous of her.
Pan Shu naturally didn't want to be humiliated, but in an instant, she had a subconscious feeling that if the person who humiliated her was Qin Liang, she wouldn't be very resistant?
But she was a married woman, and she was the Queen of Wu! For a moment, she was ashamed, scared, and nervous, and her mood was very complicated.
Qin Liang strode to the door of the room, and Pan Shu hurriedly stood up from the banquet. As expected, Qin Liang's eyes seemed to light up a little when he saw Pan Shu.
Suddenly there was a "boom" sound, and the dark porcelain bottle she had been carrying fell from her sleeve to the ground!
Qin Liang glanced at the thing, and his eyes changed. Pan Shu held down the loose collar with one hand, then leaned over to pick it up, and quickly stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.
Qin Liang then bowed his head and said, "I am Qin Liang. I am honored to meet Queen Wu."
Pan Shu returned the salute unnaturally: "General Qin."
At this time, Pan Shu heard a soft and short sigh. She couldn't help but raise her head and glance at Qin Liang, and saw a look of pity in Qin Liang's eyes. Pan Shu suddenly felt ashamed, but could not explain it for a moment.
She said quietly: "This is the residence of General Qin. General Qin, you are welcome. Please take a seat."
Qin Liang said carefully and politely: "Queen, please."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the seat at the side and knelt down. When Pan Shu looked at him casually, she saw that handsome face. Although it was a little sad, it was still calm and calm. Pan Shu couldn't help but look at it more.
Two glances.
Qin Liang was silent for a moment and then said: "I don't mean to embarrass you. The queen really doesn't need to worry. You can rest assured here. If the queen wants to return to Jianye in the future, I am willing to send someone to escort her to the border so that the queen can return to Wu safely.
"
Pan Shu said in surprise: "General Qin is really willing to let me go?"
Qin Liang said: "It was not my intention to invite the queen to Luoyang, but Ma Mao also had good intentions. Although Wei and Wu were hostile, the leader of Wu had accepted it, and the emperor of Wei conferred the title of King of Wu. Later Wu
The emperor rebelled, established a separate regime, and then came to war. This was a matter of great justice between the Wei Dynasty and the Soochow forces, and had nothing to do with any personal grudges. The queen and I have no enmity or enmity, and seeing that the queen is such a beautiful woman, with the beauty of a fish that sinks and a bird falls, how can we bear to harm each other?
?”
It sounded very reasonable. Pan Shu saw Qin Liang's sincere and approachable expression again, so she nodded lightly.
Qin Liang turned around and said, "But it would be best for the queen to live in Luoyang for a while. I have heard from Ma Mao about the matter in Wu Kingdom. If the queen rushes back, she may lose her life in vain and lose her beauty. Wouldn't it be wrong?
pity?"
The general mentioned his beauty and said that fragrance can eliminate the damage to jade. He didn't seem to strictly abide by etiquette, but for some reason, Pan Shu didn't feel disgusted.
Pan Shu sighed softly, bowed to Qin Liang and said, "Thank you, General Qin, for treating me with courtesy."
Qin Liang cupped his hands and said: "Ma Mao has not told anyone else about the queen's identity. If the queen plans to return to the Kingdom of Wu in the future, then don't tell anyone about it, so as to preserve the queen's reputation as much as possible."
Pan Shu immediately raised her eyes and said softly: "General Qin has thought very carefully."
Previously in Jianye, when Pan Shu left Jianchu Temple, she left a letter, claiming that Taoism was more spiritual and that she was going to a quiet room to pray for His Majesty. The emperor and others might not believe it, but they couldn't be sure.
Better than finding her in Luoyang!
Qin Liang also observed her from time to time, and probably noticed that she showed no signs of seeking death, and Qin Liang's expression became more relaxed.
Pan Shu asked: "Why does the general bother to think about me?"
Qin Liang smiled: "At least for the time being, I have to protect the queen's reputation. I also hope that Sun Liang will inherit the throne of King Wu."
Pan Shu blurted out: "It's a pity that General Qin is not Wu Chen."
Qin Liang said with a smile: "In the past, I really might have become a minister of the Wu Kingdom."
Pan Shu glanced at him and said: "General Qin is inferior to one person in Wei State and superior to ten thousand people. Don't make such a joke."
Qin Liang slowly shook his head and said: "I was not a general of the Wei State from the beginning. I have been in a precarious situation before, and the chance of winning was extremely low. There are not only Wu people in the country, but the battles in the Wei State court are even worse.
And, it is not uncommon to exterminate clans at every turn. When Cao Zhaobo failed, thousands of people died! By the way, the mansion we live in now is the mansion built by Cao Shuang."
Pan Shu paid attention to his eyes and realized that Qin Liang was indeed not joking.
Qin Liang continued: "I had a plan at that time. If something bad happened, it would be better to flee to another country than sit back and wait for death. Wu State was not the first choice at first, but I was serving as the governor of Lujiang County at the time, and it was too convenient to go to Wu State, so Soochow was also
One of the options."
Pan Shu pondered: "What will happen if General Qin really arrives in Wu? Will he be like Ma Mao?"
Qin Liang touched his forehead and did not answer. After a while, he looked sideways at Pan Shu and said, "So I can empathize with the queen's situation and feelings. Now that the queen has surrendered, how can I not treat her kindly?" He then pondered: "
Maybe it’s the shadow of the previous life, even in the brightest times, I always have a feeling of fear in my heart.”
When Pan Shu heard "empathy" and looked into his eyes, she felt warm in her heart. His handsome and friendly appearance gave people a sense of intimacy, as if today was not the first time the two of them had met, but they had known each other.
It’s been a long time!
On the first day she came to Luoyang in a daze, she felt it was a bit magical. Others might not believe it, but she felt unreasonably trusting and dependent on a person she met for the first time.
Qin Liang's eyes were filled with melancholy and emotion, and Pan Shu even felt a little sorry for him.
She quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but curse herself secretly. What kind of situation was she in? Why should she feel sympathy for a powerful general who was so powerful in the world?
Pan Shu calmed down and said politely: "Fortunately, General Qin took me in. I am very grateful."
Qin Liang finally showed that calm smile again, looked sideways and looked at Pan Shu calmly, and said in a joking tone: "When Sun Liang ascends to the position of the leader of the Wu Kingdom, it's okay for the queen to go back, she can wait in Wu. Wait for me.
Leading a large army to hunt Wu and sweep across Jiangdong, where will the queen go then?"
As the Queen of Wu State, Pan Shu should have acted unyielding when she heard such remarks, but when she saw that he was hesitant and smiling, Pan Shu couldn't bear to be disappointed and actually lowered her eyes in silence. Maybe Pan Shu also liked to see him.
Qin Liang looks confident and calm.
Qin Liang didn't hear the response. He glanced at the door, bowed and said: "The queen has come a long way, and I should come to see you. Please feel free to stay here for the time being, and I won't disturb her anymore."
Pan Shu had already believed in Qin Liang's sincerity in his kindness, and could not help but bow his head and return the gift: "The general treats you like this, I can't repay him..."
Before she finished speaking, Pan Shu suddenly realized that she had taken a bath and changed into clean clothes sent by the maid, but the deep clothes and lining were a bit too big and the clothes were very loose. She lost her composure when she leaned over like this.
The clothes didn't fit well, and the material on the skirt kept rubbing against her skin, which made her look even worse when Qin Liang looked at her. Pan Shu straightened up in a hurry, and sure enough, she saw Qin Liang looking at her intently, and her face suddenly turned red.
Qin Liang just said goodbye and was supposed to leave, but now he sat still and his tone changed, asking: "How does the queen want to repay her?"
Pan Shu hurriedly said what she had not finished: "I will remember your kindness today, and I will not hesitate to repay you generously in the future."
Qin Liang hinted: "As long as people know that the queen has come to Luoyang, no matter whether the queen keeps her integrity or not, the world will not believe it."
This sentence seems to be correct.
Pan Shu subconsciously thought of the terrible experience in Jianye and Emperor Wu's attitude, and she couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart. She also thought of Qin Liang's pity and consideration for her when they first met, and Pan Shu couldn't help but feel confused. She
It’s true that I haven’t thought about that kind of thing for many years, but what is the situation now and how long have you known Qin Liang?
What's more, it was the first time they met each other. Pan Shu actually didn't know much about what kind of person Qin Liang was. I'm afraid she was too trusting of others! If she was abducted and humiliated as a last resort, then like her, who just met What's the point of throwing yourself into someone's arms? Once you tell her, she'll be a shameless slut!
While Pan Shu was thinking, Qin Liang had sat beside her, reached out and gently touched her delicate hand. His hand was so warm.
Pan Shu took one look at his robe, and her face suddenly turned red. In desperation, she suddenly pushed Qin Liang's hand forward. Unexpectedly, her hand hit something, and she almost jumped up in panic. , almost caressing Qin Liang's body, wondering if it hurt him.
Pan Shu was almost crying. She took a deep breath and finally said coldly and tremblingly: "The general said that he will not be embarrassed, how can he not keep his word?"
Qin Liang was startled for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Because of the queen's peerless beauty, I couldn't hold it back for a moment. Don't blame the queen. I'm leaving." After that, he stood up and left.
Pan Shu sat helplessly at the banquet, breathing a long sigh of relief. She looked at Qin Liang's back and didn't recover for a long time. She only felt the coolness in her dark clothes, and then she realized that there was a gust of wind outside, and the spring wind was blowing. Pour into the house through the door..
