"Painting?" Cai Yu's nervousness eased slightly, but she still couldn't understand why Yan Liang suddenly became so interested. But she didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she could only force a smile and say: "Since the general is so interested, let me change into new clothes and apply a little makeup to dress up. Otherwise, the portrait will be ugly." Liu Biao was a well-known scholar, and he knew all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He even painted a portrait of Cai Yu himself in ordinary times. Cai Yu only said that Yan Liang should also be mediocre and elegant. Just as he was about to stand up, Yan Liang waved his hand and said: "The human body is the most perfect thing in the world, but it is inferior in dressing and painting. I want to paint a pure and unobstructed portrait for you, madam." Cai Yu was stunned now. She never imagined that Yan Liang would suddenly think of such a weird idea and actually want to paint a nude painting for himself. Lying here naked with no clothes on, letting others outline all your private parts, wouldn't it be shameful and embarrassing to death? "General, this is not good..." Cai Yu was so shy that she tried to push him away. Yan Liang's face darkened, as if he was a little unhappy. Cai Yu's heart suddenly tightened, thinking to herself that she had fallen into the hands of this cruel warrior. It would be good if she could live under someone else's roof, but if she offended him, she would be asking for trouble. After weighing the situation, Cai Yu turned from shyness to laughter and said coquettishly: "The general is really the same. He is used to using such weird methods to torment me. As long as the general likes it, I can paint my body." After saying that, Cai Yu simply let go and no longer covered up. She just stretched out her body and lay down on the couch, assuming a seductive posture. Only then was Yan Liang satisfied, and he said to the female painter: "Just paint it. You must be careful. Not only the face must be painted like it, but every trace on the lady's body must be painted. If it doesn't look like it, I won't do it."
Spare you." "Yes, yes, civilian women obey orders." The female painter wiped the sweat from her forehead, unfolded the silk paper, gathered her energy, and carefully painted Mrs. Cai on the couch. After a long while, the female painter finally finished the painting. "General, please take a look." When the female painter presented the painting with her hands, she was already covered in cold sweat. Yan Liang looked at it carefully, and found that this female painter's painting skills were exquisite, and her paintings were so lifelike that she could even clearly draw a mole on Cai Yu's waist. "Very good, the painting is good, go down and receive the reward." Yan Liang nodded with satisfaction. As if she had been granted amnesty, the female painter thanked her profusely and hurriedly left. At this time, Cai Yu had already put on her clothes, stepped forward and said with a smile: "General, let me take a look." Yan Liang handed the painting to her. Cai Yu took it and took a look. When she saw her coquettish and charming appearance, and saw all the subtleties displayed in the painting, she couldn't help but blush with shame. "General, this painting is too... too shabby. It's so embarrassing." Cai Yu complained in embarrassment. Yan Liang laughed loudly, "This is called the art of human body, something elegant. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I just like this." "Art of the human body?" When Cai Yu heard this new term for the first time, his blushing face was filled with confusion. After Yan Liang had finished admiring it, he rolled up the painting and put it away, "I'll just take this painting away. When I have time to miss my wife, I might as well take it out to appreciate it from time to time." "General~~" Cai Yu is both shy and secretly in love with her. She lowers her eyebrows and smiles charmingly. Yan Liang teased her a few more words, then took the painting and left the courtyard on the grounds that he was on military duty. Born in a palace, Yan Liang was so proud of the spring breeze that he rode his horse and asked Zhou Cang: "Zifeng, did Mr. Ziyuan say last time that the people in Jiangling City were busy preparing for Liu Biao's birthday?" Zhou Cang didn't know why Yan Liang suddenly asked this question. He was startled for a moment and then said: "Mr. Zi Yuansheng seems to have said that Liu Biao will celebrate his birthday next month." Yan Liang nodded, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Our Liu Zhou Mu is celebrating his birthday, how can I not give him a big gift as an ally, hehe." … In the bedroom in the other courtyard, Cai Yu is dressing up in front of the mirror. She gently stroked her round face, her brows filled with a trace of comfort, and the places where her fingertips touched seemed to be a little more elastic than before. It feels like I have been under house arrest these days, and I suddenly realize that I seem to be a few years younger. "Women, after all, still need the nourishment of nectar~~" Cai Yu stood up, twisted and stretched lazily in front of the bronze mirror, admiring her figure and appearance. This young woman felt that her whole body seemed to be rejuvenated with youthful vitality, and her heart was filled with an inexplicable excitement. She gently caressed her delicate skin, recalling the thrilling experience she had just had with the muscular man, and her watery eyes could not help but reveal the rippling color of spring again. Seriously, it’s an endless aftertaste... ###### Jiangling, the state capital. The door to the study slowly opened, and the elderly Liu Biao, supported by his second son Liu Cong, walked slowly into the study. The eldest son Liu Qi, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others who were waiting here hurriedly got up to see him. Liu Biao nodded slightly to greet them. To everyone's relief, their lord actually had a rare smile on his face. Since the fall of Xiangyang and Liu Biao fell ill, this is the first time he has summoned everyone. It seems that under the treatment of Zhang Zhongjing, the Jingzhou shepherd's body is slowly recovering. Liu Biao turned the corner and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. With the support of his second son, Liu Biao walked into the hall and slowly sat on the upper seat, while Liu Cong sat down next to Liu Biao. Sitting like this seems to be to facilitate Liu Biao's care, but in fact it reflects the importance Liu Biao attaches to his second son. Liu Qi on the left frowned slightly when he saw this. "I heard that rumors are spreading widely in the city recently. What is going on?" Liu Biao asked. As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Hao immediately said: "Let me tell you, my lord, there are rumors circulating outside that Huang Zu is proud of his troops and intends to betray the lord and surrender to Yan Liang's husband." Hearing this, Liu Biao sneered. That laughter seemed to be mocking the ridiculousness and childishness of this rumor. After coughing a few times, Liu Biao said disapprovingly: "Huang Zu has followed me for many years, fought bloody battles, was loyal, and has made great contributions. To say that he wants to rebel, huh, the person who started this rumor is too stupid." Liu Biao's trust in Huang Zu was still very deep. Cai Mao was speechless and could only turn his gaze to Kuai Yue. At this time, Kuai Yue, who had been brooding for a long time, opened his mouth and said: "Lord, although the rumors outside are suspected of being rumors, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. I believe that this rumor cannot be fully believed, but it cannot be disbelieved."<

Liu Biao's expression moved slightly, and his eyes turned to Kuai Yue, "What does Yidu mean by this?" Kuai Yue stood up and walked into the center, and said seriously: "I have worked with Huang Zu for many years, and I have no doubt about his loyalty. However, this time in Jiangxia, what I saw and heard with my own eyes made me feel uneasy.
Doubtful." Liu Biao suddenly became nervous. Kuai Yue then told all the suspicious things about the unusual correspondence between Yan Liang and Huang Zu, the suspicious behavior when riding alone, and Yan Liang's strange retreat without fighting for no reason. Liu Biao's brows deepened as he heard this, and a look of suspicion quietly appeared on his originally indifferent face. After saying this, Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said: "Nowadays, Jingzhou is in troubled times, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will be disturbed. Although Huang Zu's suspicious actions cannot be judged as having ulterior motives, I sincerely urge my lord to put the overall situation first and must not fail to guard against it."<
/
Kuai Yue gave such generous advice, and others such as Pang Ji, Cai Mao and others also agreed one after another. Liu Biao's expression darkened, his eyes flashed with complicated expressions, and he was obviously undecided. Although Liu Biao had great trust in Huang Zu, he could not stop thinking about it with all the facts before him. After pondering for a long time, Liu Biao sighed: "Even so, there is no real evidence after all. If we conclude that Huang Zu has ulterior motives just based on some suspicion, I am afraid that he will be forced to take risks." Liu Biao's words seemed to be protecting Huang Zu, but in fact he was also suspicious. Kuai Yue secretly rejoiced in his heart and said hurriedly: "Huang Zu holds a heavy army and cannot move lightly. His subordinates think that the Lord should be kind and caressing him on the surface, but secretly reduce his military power little by little. In this way, he can calmly general
Hidden dangers are eliminated before they occur.” After hearing Kuai Yue's plan, Liu Biao fell into deep thought again. After weighing for a long time, Liu Biao was still unable to make a decision. He just waved his hand and said: "Let me think about this matter again. I am tired. Let's stop today's discussion." After that, Liu Biao did not give them a chance to say anything more. With Liu Cong's support, he stood up and left the study. Liu Qi, who had been silent all this time, looked at the back of his younger brother supporting his father to leave, and a trace of deep disgust quietly passed through his eyes. After leaving Dezhou Prefecture, Liu Qi went straight back to his own house. When I entered the mansion, I heard that Zhuge Liang had been waiting for a long time. Since the escape plan in Xiangyang, Liu Qi has regarded Zhuge Liang as a confidant and asked him to discuss problems whenever he encountered them. Although Zhuge Liang did not serve as an official, he often secretly gave Liu Qi advice. Upon hearing that Zhuge Liang had arrived, Liu Qi hurried to meet him in the inner hall. "Looking at the look on the eldest son's face, could it be that something unpleasant happened during today's meeting?" Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile. Liu Qi said bitterly: "What else could there be? Of course it's that boy Liu Cong. I really don't understand. This boy was captured by Yan Liang and brought shame to my Liu family. My father still loves him so much. Today's discussion, actually
I kept him by my side from beginning to end without caring about my feelings." Hearing Liu Qi's hateful words, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "This is not surprising. Liu Cong has the support of Cai Kuai and Liu Cong. Rather than doting on Liu Cong, it is better to say that Liu Gong favors Cai Kuai and the other two.
” Liu Qi had no choice but to sigh after thinking about it. Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, remained calm and only asked about the matters discussed today. Liu Qi did not hide anything, and truthfully told Zhuge Liang the content of the discussion with a grimace. After listening, Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his handsome face. "Liu Cong was favored by Duke Liu only because of the support of the Cai and Kuai clans. However, the eldest son does not have to worry. Liang thought that there was a God-given opportunity right now, so that the eldest son could also get a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Tree." (To be continued. (..), your support is my biggest motivation.)
