As Liu Xin said just now, he had long expected that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go. Since he had already expected that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go, but still sent Guan Yu to capture Liu Bei, this could only mean one thing. Liu Xin was attracted to Cao Cao.
Hui, he wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Guan Yu. Because Guan Yu had surrendered to Liu Xin, of course Liu Xin could not kill him blatantly, lest he would chill the hearts of the good people in the world, so he had to find such an opportunity.
Cao Bao, who is accustomed to playing all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of this, and said with a flattering face: "If you like my little girl..."
"Shut up!" Liu Xin didn't wait for him to finish his words and already understood what he meant. She couldn't help but became furious, slammed the table and stood up.
But Liu Xin soon regained her composure and sat down again. The child in Cao Hui's belly was a long thread that tied Guan Yu. He had to be more cautious when dealing with Cao Bao. After a long silence, Liu Xin finally said: "
Cao Bao, I will spare your life this time, confiscate half of your family property, demote you to a commoner, and never be an official."
There are four aristocratic families in Xuzhou: Mi, Cao, Chen, and Sun. After Mi Zhu left Xiangyang, the Cao family became the leading aristocratic family in Xuzhou. Even if half of the family property was confiscated, it could still be regarded as a wealthy family. Cao Bao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
, spending money to eliminate disasters, being able to save one's life is more important than anything else. It doesn't matter whether he is an official or not, as long as he has money, he can still have good food and clothing. Cao Bao hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Xin repeatedly until he was
The guards dragged him out.
Liu Xin turned to Qin Yi and sneered: "Humph, you are Qin Yi? I heard that you are Lu Bu's old subordinate. You once followed Lu Bu to sneak attack Xiangyang, and you also helped Liu Bei raise food and grass all day long. It is not a small crime!"
When Liu Xin dealt with Cao Bao just now, Qin Yi had been trembling with fear. Now after hearing what Liu Xin said, he was even more out of his mind. He knelt down with a "plop" and begged for mercy. He was tied up with five flowers, and he couldn't even kneel straight.
, simply lying there.
Liu Xin despised such weaklings the most, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Qin Yi, you want me to spare you, but do you have anything worthy of me sparing you?"
Qin Yi was a migrant in Xuzhou. He didn't own any land. Even the house he lived in was given by Liu Bei. Moreover, it was an old property of the Mi family and would be taken away soon. Qin Yi was stunned by what Liu Xin said. Suddenly
I remembered that Liu Xin said that Cao Bao was able to escape with his life only because he gave birth to a good daughter.
When he was in Chang'an, Li Ru once spread rumors that Liu Xin was a lecher. The conversation between Liu Xin and Cao Bao just now further confirmed this. Although Qin Yi has no daughter, he has a wife who is as beautiful as a fairy.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and said repeatedly: "Sir, I have it, I have it."
Liu Xinqi asked: "What do you have?"
Qin Yi quickly said: "My humble wife is quite beautiful and I am willing to dedicate her to you, sir."
Liu Xin laughed and said: "Since Liu conquered this Xuzhou city, your women are Liu's trophies. Wouldn't Liu take it for himself, so do you still need to donate it? Liu won't hide it from you either.
The woman and son have already been taken into the back house by Liu."
All the civil and military officials in the hall burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of sarcasm. Qin Yi's face turned red with embarrassment, and he wished he could find a way to sneak in.
Liu Xin's face suddenly sank, and she shouted sternly: "Qin Yi, you are a villain who trades your wife for your life. What's the point of keeping you? Drag him out and chop him off, and hang your head in public!"
Qin Yi begged for mercy at the top of his lungs, but was pulled out like a dead dog by his guards. In fact, Liu Xin did not necessarily have to execute Qin Yi, but he knew better that Guan Yu was completely obsessed with Du Xiuniang's beauty.
Although Guan Yu wanted to ask Liu Xin to reward him with Du Xiuniang through meritorious service, as long as Qin Yi did not die, Guan Yu would not feel so comfortable even if he got Du Xiuniang. In order to completely conquer Guan Yu, Liu Xin had to take Qin Yi's
life.
When everyone retreated, Jushou raised his hands and said, "Does the lord want to keep that woman?"
Although Jushou had never met Du Xiuniang, he was clear about the information that Shopkeeper Song had inquired about. According to Shopkeeper Song's description, Du Xiuniang's beauty was unparalleled in the world, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu were obsessed with it. He was really
He was worried that Liu Xin would forget his loyalty for a moment. With Liu Xin's status, even if he took away Qin Yi's woman, it wouldn't be a big deal. But Ju Shou knew that Liu Xin wanted to conquer Guan Yu, and he didn't want Liu Xin to do it.
Happy to be small and lose big.
When Liu Xin saw the worry on Ju Shou's face, she couldn't help but laugh loudly and said: "Gong Yu, with your reminder, I can't wait to see what the woman who can make Guan Yu's dream look like. How about it?
, do you want to go and see Liu with you?"
Jushou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "My lord's inner house, my subordinates dare not enter without permission."
Liu Xin ignored him and turned around and entered the back house.
This was originally Mi Zhu's mansion. It was first given to Liu Bei by Tao Qian, and now it was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Xin. Because Liu Xin brought his female dependents with him, he used this place as a temporary residence for the convenience of daily life. However, the owner of the house, Mi Zhu,
Not only did I have no objection to this arrangement, but I was quite happy with it.
Now, in addition to Diao Chan, Yan Rui, the four of them, Du Xiuniang and her son, and Cao Hui are all living in the backyard. In addition, Gan Mei and the original maids from Liu Bei's house are also staying here and have not been sent to other places.
.
Although she was in the back house, Diao Chan's face was still covered with a thin veil. As soon as she saw Liu Xin, Diao Chan stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Master, you are back, why are you not allowed in the back house?"
I have taken off this veil."
Ever since he knew that Guan Yu was also a lecher, Liu Xin had been extra cautious. He believed that even if Guan Yu fell, others would not be much better. Since Diao Chan can be ranked among the four beauties in ancient times, her appearance is natural
There was nothing to say. Although Liu Xin never liked to keep his women in cages, she did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Liu Xin did not prevent Diao Chan from wearing a veil every time she went out.
Originally, Diao Chan did not need to hide her appearance when she was in the inner house, but the situation now is a little different. There are three unrelated women living in the inner house. Among these three women, except Cao Hui, who turned out to be Guan Yu's wife, the others
Liu Xin also wanted to give these two women to Guan Yu, a "lecher". Liu Xin did not want Diao Chan's beauty to reach Guan Yu's ears through the mouths of these women.
Of course, Liu Xin would not say these words to Diao Chan. He smiled and said: "You just came from Jiangnan. The climate here is much drier than Jiangnan. I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to it for a while.
If your skin, which is as delicate as water, is damaged by the blow, I will feel sorry for you."
Diao Chan lowered her head shyly and muttered: "Master, you are making fun of me again."
Liu Xin laughed, covered up the matter of asking Diao Chan to put on a veil, and said: "How is it, Mrs. Guan has settled down?"
Diao Chan smiled sweetly at Liu Xin and said, "How dare you not do your best according to the master's instructions? Not only have Mrs. Guan's arrangements been made, but also Mrs. Qin's place. However, the slave family saw something rare at Mrs. Qin's place.
object."
Liu Xin knew that what Diao Chan saw was the hosta, and said with a smile: "I told you before, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, I will give you a better piece of jewelry in the future. Where is that woman arranged? Bring her
I'll go take a look."
To be honest, Liu Xin couldn't wait to see Du Xiuniang. It was not because he wanted to compete with Guan Yu for some woman, but because Guan Yu repeatedly mentioned it in front of him, which aroused Liu Xin's curiosity.
Hearing that Liu Xin was going to see Du Xiuniang, Diao Chan felt obviously uncomfortable and said quietly: "Master, why don't you go see Liu Bei's wife first?"
Liu Xin felt the drunkenness in Diao Chan's words, laughed, and said: "Okay, then I'll follow my Chan'er and go see what Liu Bei's wife looks like."
It has been more than half a year since she moved into this big house. Until the city of Xuzhou was invaded, Ganmei stayed alone in the empty house. However, she had long been accustomed to this kind of life, but she didn't expect that one day she would become someone else's prisoner of war. How much was in her heart
Somewhat uneasy.
Ganmei sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at the pretty face in the mirror, and sighed secretly. She didn't know who would get this flower-like body. She was weak by nature, but she was a smart person. Someone like her
The final outcome of the beautiful female prisoner is conceivable.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a woman's voice came softly: "Mrs. Liu, my master sees that you are here."
Ganmei turned around and recognized the woman who had just come to comfort her, and she had already heard that this veiled woman was Liu Xin's seventh lady. Then the young man following the seventh lady
It must be the master she said, that is, Liu Xin. Ganmei stood up in a hurry, bowed deeply and said: "I have seen the master and madam, but I can't be worthy of being in front of the master and the madam."
This title."
Liu Xin raised her hand, indicating that Gan Mei didn't need to be polite. When Gan Mei stood up straight, he took a closer look. The famous Mrs. Gan in history was indeed very beautiful. Her pretty face was as white as jade, but there were some
Haggard and a little melancholy. Liu Xin couldn't help but nodded secretly, although she was willing to
Mei was wearing a thick long skirt, but judging from her face and exposed arms, the rumors that she had fair skin were probably true. Although Liu Xin was very curious about these rumors, she could only guess that he had not yet
He was so shameless that he asked Gan Mei to take off his clothes for him to verify.
Although Gan Mei can be regarded as a beauty, except for her whiter skin, her appearance is still slightly inferior to those of the women in Liu Xin's family. Seeing the anxiety on Gan Mei's face, Liu Xin smiled and said: "Mrs. Gan, don't worry
Live here, I have given an order, no one dares to disturb you."
Diao Chan smiled and said: "Master, you have seen this Mrs. Liu, how do you feel?"
