Before Yang Muyu could answer, Feng Lie had already said: "My lord, Miss Yang is uneasy because she leaked the whereabouts of you and Mrs. Zhu Rong. From last night to now, she has not eaten a grain of rice. She heard that the lord was injured, and she was deeply moved."
I felt guilty and took the initiative to apologize. I have been kneeling here for more than three hours."
Having said this, Feng Lie paused for a moment and glanced at Liu Xin secretly. Seeing that there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel uneasy and continued: "Actually, Miss Yang was actually blackmailed by Meng Jie. If she
If she doesn't reveal her lord's whereabouts, Meng Jie will kill her whole family, and she has no choice but to..."
"Feng Lie, please stop speaking for her! She is Meng Huo's woman!" Zhu Rong interrupted him unceremoniously and said coldly, "Is Meng Jie the only one who is terrible? If my brother really has a problem, I will do the same.
Will kill her whole family!"
Liu Xin was indeed seriously injured this time. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, when he jumped towards Zhu Rong and Meng Huo, he had foreseen that Meng Jie would sneak attack on his back, secretly used his skills to resist, and caught him on the way.
Zhu Rong knocked Meng Huo away, taking away half of the force he had endured. This time, even if he survived, he could not get up. The more Zhu Rong thought about it, the more frightened he became. He always felt that it was precisely because he could not bear to kill all the Meng family that he caused the consequences.
Liu Xin was seriously injured. If Yang Muyu had been used as an official slave, it would have been impossible for her and Liu Xin's whereabouts to be leaked. For a whole day, Liu Xin did not wake up, and Zhu Rong's inner guilt became heavier and heavier, and then
He turned his anger on Yang Muyu, and if Zhu Ding hadn't persuaded her to stop him, Zhu Rong would have killed her with his own hands just now.
As Meng Huo's woman, Yang Muyu often heard Meng Huo make irresponsible remarks about Liu Xin, and she did not have a good impression of Liu Xin. What she saw and heard in the cave in the past two days made her have a negative impression of Liu Xin.
Xin Xin's opinion changed slightly, but she still didn't like it. Until Feng Lie told her that Liu Xin had ordered a large amount of grain to be transported from Jingzhou and distributed to the Han people in the four counties of Nanzhong for free, so that they could live in peace.
This winter, Yang Muyu completely changed her view of Liu Xin. Regardless of Feng Lie's persuasion, she insisted on coming to plead guilty.
This kneeling lasted for more than three hours. Yang Muyu was just a weak woman, gradually turning pale and exhausted physically and mentally. But after listening to Zhu Rong's words, she still said firmly: "No! I am not Meng Huo's woman, and he and I have nothing to do with each other."
It’s related!”
Feng Lie suddenly knelt down next to Yang Muyu, kowtowed and said: "My lord, the reason why your whereabouts were leaked this time is entirely the responsibility of the general. The general is willing to die, please spare Miss Yang's life!"
Liu Xin glanced at Feng Lie and saw that the white cloth wrapped around his face was stained with blood again. It was obvious that he had moved too violently today and was injured. Liu Xin understood in her heart that the reason why Feng Lie was like this was because he was worried about his own safety.
, Secondly, he was really moved by Yang Muyu, and couldn't help but turn to Wenpin and Zhu Ding, and asked: "How do you two think this matter should be handled?"
Guo Jia has already rushed back to Xiangyang to report his victory. Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are still in the military camp on the border of Zangke. They will be busy with clearing out the remaining enemies and allocating food for a while. Therefore, only Wenpin and Feng Lie are here.
There were four people including Zhu Ding and his daughter, and the attitudes of Zhu Rong and Feng Lie were very obvious. One wanted to kill and the other wanted to protect. Wenpin and Zhu Ding couldn't tell what Liu Xin's attitude was for a while, and they were a little embarrassed about which side they were on.
, couldn't help but look at each other, and said in unison: "The decision to kill depends entirely on the Lord!"
"Haha, you two are really naughty!" Liu Xin smiled, her face darkened, and said, "Liu's principle of doing things is always to reward those who have merit and punish those who have made mistakes. No one can be an exception!"
Feng Lie's face darkened, it seemed that Yang Muyu could not escape death. But Yang Muyu raised her head and said loudly: "I am willing to die to thank you, Lord!"
Liu Xin waved her hand and said, "Yes, she is a responsible woman. You just said that you have nothing to do with Meng Huo, but is that true?"
Yang Muyu said without hesitation: "There is absolutely no lie."
"Okay!" Liu Xin lifted the quilt, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said, "Yang Muyu leaked Liu's whereabouts. It's not entirely an exaggeration. He still deserves some credit."
"What! She leaked the whereabouts of you and me, and she still deserves credit?" Zhu Rongyuan opened his eyes, feeling so incredible, and said angrily, "Brother, you don't have a crush on her."
"That's nonsense!" Liu Xin said angrily, "If she hadn't leaked our whereabouts, how could Meng Jie have found us? If Meng Jie and Meng Huo didn't take the initiative to show up, with their familiarity with the terrain of Nanzhong,
Not to mention hiding for a year and a half, even if you hide for ten or eight years there will be no problem at all."
Taking a breath, Liu Xin continued: "You have seen Meng Jie's martial arts. If he does not attack us, but attacks the convoys transporting food, with his martial arts, hundreds of guards will not be around him at all."
Come on, when the time comes, the four counties of Nanzhong will never have peace!"
Liu Xin paused and said: "It is precisely because she leaked our whereabouts that Meng Jie and Meng Huo appeared, and we were able to completely eradicate these two troubles. Moreover, Meng Jie's appearance also made people
I am sure of one thing, the Meng family has long been opposed to it! Otherwise, how could a master like Meng Jie live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?"
In fact, no one knows the real reason why Meng Jie lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. Maybe Meng Huo knows it, but he and Meng Jie are both dead, so there is no way to know the inside story. However, Liu Xin can't control this.
Whatever the reason, Liu Xin believed that Meng Jie's seclusion was to leave a way for the Meng family to rebel, so that Liu Xin could justifiably carry out a general purge of the Meng family.
However, from the fact that Liu Xin's long words were divided into three paragraphs, it can be seen that he was indeed seriously injured today. Zhu Rong could feel that Liu Xin's breath was still not smooth enough, and he asked worriedly: "Brother
, you are fine, how about we discuss how to deal with her tomorrow. As long as you are fine, I, I will let her go."
"We will go back to Xiangyang together tomorrow. We will have something to eat and adjust our breathing for a while. It should be no more serious." Liu Xin waved her hand, turned to Yang Muyu and said, "No matter what, it is a serious crime for you to leak our whereabouts."
, if the merits and demerits balance out, you will not be punished. However, the wounds on General Feng Lie’s face are aggravated because of this incident, so you must not be punished."
Feng Lie hurriedly said: "My lord, my general is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so this little injury won't be a problem."
Liu Xin ignored him and asked with a smile: "Yang Muyu, are you willing to be punished?"
Yang Muyu did not expect that Liu Xin would not punish her for leaking her whereabouts, but would punish her to aggravate Feng Lie's injury. She did not understand his intention, but said without hesitation: "I accept the punishment!"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Liu remarried you to Feng Lie three days ago. However, Liu knows that you are not willing, and Liu will no longer force you on this matter. Tomorrow, General Feng Lie
You will return to Xiangyang with Liu, and ask the miraculous doctor Hua Tuohua from the medical school to heal the wound on his face. Liu will punish you to take good care of Feng Lie during the treatment, and after he is cured, you will be freed."
Yang Muyu couldn't even imagine that such a punishment existed in this world. He was stunned and speechless.
When Liu Xin saw that Yang Muyu was silent, her face darkened and she said, "Why, you don't agree?"
Yang Muyu hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I promise, I promise."
After another night of rest, Liu Xin felt much better. However, Zhu Rong firmly refused to let him ride a horse, so he hitched an ox cart and drove slowly to Xiangyang. Although the ox cart moved slowly, it also had the same advantage.
It was very bumpy. As a concession, Zhu Rong also agreed to leave two more cousins besides Zhu Yan, and only took Zhu Yu with him.
Although the oxcart was simple, it was very spacious, so Zhu Rong naturally squeezed into it. Zhu Yu also wanted to climb on the cart, but Zhu Rong shouted: "Go and ride a horse yourself!"
After driving Zhu Yu away, Zhu Rong snuggled closer to Liu Xin and said with a smile: "Brother, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. You have to tell me the truth."
Liu Xin was very surprised. It was not Zhu Rong's style to keep things secret. She couldn't help but become curious and said, "Well, if you have anything to ask, just ask. As long as it's not confidential, I'll tell you everything."
"Huh!" Zhu Rong curled his lips and said, "Do you still need to keep it a secret from me? Brother, don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."
The more she said this, the more strange Liu Xin became. He looked her up and down for a long time and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Zhu Rong lifted the car curtain and looked around, then asked Liu Xin mysteriously in his ear: "Brother, do you want to be the emperor?"
Liu Xin was taken aback, widened her eyes and said, "Who told you this? Don't talk nonsense!"
"Exactly!" Zhu Rong waved his hand and said disdainfully, "Brother, you now own the four states of Sili, Jing, Yi, and Liang, but you are just a shepherd of Jingzhou, and you don't want to serve in the imperial court.
As a minister, people still don't know your thoughts."
Liu Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a straight face: "Who taught you these words?"
While asking this question, Liu Xin's mind was also running rapidly. He knew that with Zhu Rong's careless character, he would never think of going into these aspects. Only Xu Shu could think so far, but Xu Shu should not dare to think about it now.
Hanging around in front of Zhu Rong, there is only one possibility, that is, Xu Shu told Zhu Ding these thoughts, and Zhu Ding told Zhu Rong. In just a moment, Liu Xin had
He came to the conclusion. Zhu Ding certainly had enough reasons to hope that Liu Xin could sit on the throne of the emperor, so that his daughter would be a concubine and he himself would become a relative of the emperor. Otherwise, his daughter would be subject to Liu Xin again.
Liu Xin's love was just a concubine, and it would never be on the big stage. However, Liu Xin also knew that even if she guessed that Zhu Ding asked her to test her, she would not tell her.
Sure enough, Zhu Rong leaned into his arms again and said softly: "Brother, don't worry about who taught me, just tell me whether it is true or false?"
