Of course, Yan Liang couldn't bear to give Mi Zhen away and let her continue to be abused by Liu Bei, an old man who was over fifty years old.
Because of this, in his reply to Mi Fang, he had just laid a trap and did not make a direct commitment, only saying that he was "thinking about it".
In this case, how could Yan Liang let Mi Fang see Mi Zhen?
Thinking of this, Yan Liang said: "Mrs. Mi was abandoned here by you. She has long been discouraged and does not want to see you. I think this time, let it go. After you fulfill the conditions, I will try to persuade you again."
Mrs. Mi."
How could any of her sisters not want to see her brother? Mi Fang was not an idiot. She knew clearly that Yan Liang did not want them to see each other, but she had no choice but to give up.
On the same day, Yan Liang held a banquet, changed his previous threatening attitude, and warmly entertained Mi Fang, who had come from afar. Mi Fang was moved and flattered.
After several rounds of drinking, Mi Fang's small body was so drunk that she almost vomited blood and finally fell down from drinking.
It was late at night, the banquet had just ended, and Yan Liang, who had drunk to his heart's content, asked someone to carry Mi Fang to the hotel and place her there.
The plan to kill Liu Biao was already in place, and the plan to alienate Huang Zu was also going smoothly. Now Mi Fang came uninvited to help him lead Sun Quan's trouble to Huainan.
Everything went well, and with God's help, Yan Liang was in a happy mood. Although it was late at night, he was not sleepy at all.
In excitement, Yan Liang went out of the mansion and galloped wantonly on the empty Xiangyang streets under the protection of dozens of cavalry soldiers.
At this time, the moon was already rising, and most of the households were asleep. However, they suddenly heard the rumble of iron hooves outside the window, and they thought there was a war, and most of them were awakened and uneasy.
Yan Liang doesn't have much control. The land under his feet was built with blood and sweat. As the master of Xiangyang City, he is not afraid of the reputation of disturbing the people. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he enjoys it.
Before he knew it, he had already galloped back and forth several times in Xiangyang City. When he stopped his horse, Yan Liang was also out of breath.
When he looked up, he found that he had unknowingly arrived at the other courtyard in the south of the city.
In that palace, Mi Zhen and Gan Mei, Liu Bei's wives and concubines, were under house arrest.
In recent months, Yan Liang has been busy with military affairs, so he has not come to visit these two women for some time. Now that he was reminded by Mi Fang's arrival, Yan Liang thought he was passing by and might as well go in and take a look.
Although it was late at night, the gatekeepers were all Yan Liang's soldiers, so there was no need to knock on the door. Yan Liang got off his horse and walked in.
On a day when the bright moon was high, that beautiful figure still stood leaning on the railing, looking at the moon.
The pretty face has a touch of melancholy that sometimes appears and disappears.
In the night, a faint sigh would sound from time to time. There was a bit of helplessness and a bit of sadness in the sigh.
This is not the first time Mi Zhen has been in a daze at the moon.
Living here in seclusion with no relatives or friends, although Yan Liang took great care of her materially, she still couldn't sleep in the dead of night.
She didn't know how many times she dreamed that her husband sent someone to take her back to her hometown. He was still so affectionate and doting on her.
However, when I woke up, I was still faced with a lonely pillow and cold walls.
Between dreaming and waking up, her remaining hope was extinguished bit by bit.
While she was sighing and thinking, Mi Zhen was completely unaware that Yan Liang was standing behind her quietly.
Yan Liang, who was smelling of alcohol, looked at the charming figure, and then thought about Liu Bei's old face, he felt a strong will in his heart, and he would never send this beautiful woman to the tiger's mouth again.
As a trophy, Yan Liang can possess the Mi family as he wishes just like he possessed the Cai family.
But for some reason, Yan Liang felt not only the primitive possessiveness, but also some pity and respect for the sad-looking beauty in front of him.
Cai Yu is greedy for money, cunning, and likes to slander her. In addition, she is a member of the Cai family. Apart from her pleasant appearance, it can be said that she is not a likable woman.
Yan Liang's possession of Cai Yu was mostly out of a winner's mentality of catharsis, or in other words, it was just primitive instinct.
But the Mi Zhen in front of her was a gentle, lovely, virtuous and virtuous woman. Although she was abandoned by Liu Bei several times and suffered all the hardships of being homeless and being dependent on others, she still never left Liu Biao until she heard about Liu Bei.
Marry a wife and abandon her completely, only then will you feel resentful.
This is a loving and righteous woman who deserves Yan Liang's respect, so until now, Yan Liang has not used rude means to possess her.
This is Yan Liang's style of dealing with any kind of person and using what kind of means.
A gust of night wind passed through the hall, and Mi Zhen, who was standing against the railing, could not help but shiver in her delicate body.
Yan Liang felt pity for her, so he walked lightly behind her, took off his cloak and put it on her.
Mi Zhen was startled, and instinctively shrank her body. When she turned back sharply, she saw clearly that it was Yan Liang.
The smell of alcohol hit her nostrils, and they were so close that she could even feel the temperature on his body, and Mi Zhen's pretty face immediately glowed a little.
And when she realized that Yan Liang was covering him up to keep out the cold, her shy eyes could not help but show a hint of gratitude.
After being stunned for a moment, Mi Zhen hurriedly bowed and said in a low voice: "When did the general come, why didn't I tell him in advance so that I and my sister could go to greet the general."
"I was passing by here and stopped by to see Madam. It's very cold at night, so Madam didn't go to rest, but she was here admiring the moon. It's really nice."
Yan Liang took a step forward as he spoke, standing side by side with her, holding his hands and looking up at the bright moon.
Mi Zhen sighed and said quietly: "I couldn't sleep, so I admired the moon to relieve my worries."
silence.
The evening breeze blew, and the young woman beside him exuded a faint body fragrance, refreshing his nose.
After a long while, Yan Liang suddenly asked: "Madam, do you know who I will be drinking with tonight?"
Mi Zhen frowned, but she didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, so she just shook her head.
"It's your brother Mi Fang."
A faint word, but it was like a thunderbolt in the sky, making Mi Zhen's delicate body tremble, and infinite surprise instantly filled her watery eyes.
Although she was pleasantly surprised, Mi Zhen tried her best to restrain her excitement and said cautiously: "Brother...brother, what is he going to do?"
"He said that he wanted to take you back to Xuzhou on the orders of my wife's eldest brother Mi Zhu."
Yan Liang didn't hide it either.
When Mi Zhen learned that her brother was going to take her back, she was naturally overjoyed, as if the remaining hope had finally become a reality.
However, under her joy, she suddenly had doubts.
Why did he follow Mi Zhu's order and not Liu Bei's order?
How could those suspicions flickering in Mi Zhen's eyes escape Yan Liang's eagle eyes?
He sneered. "I have asked Brother Ling, and he told the truth. Liu Bei has no intention of taking you back to Xuzhou, Madam. Your two brothers just want to take you back privately so that they can fight against the Chen family."
Fight for favor to maintain the power of your Mi family."
Word by word, the cruel facts were scraping towards Mi Zhen like a knife blade.
The face that was originally filled with surprise suddenly fell into sadness again.
If Liu Bei didn't really want to take her back, so what if she could return to Xuzhou? As an old person who has fallen out of favor, should she put down her dignity and compete with the favored new person?
Others can, but Mi Zhen cannot.
"Uncle Liu Huang is really ruthless. When he was captured by Lu Bu and fell into such a state of despair, your Mi family spent all their money to support him. Your eldest brother Mi Zhu even married you to him. If it weren't for you Mi Zhu,
In other words, how could Uncle Liu be where he is today? But now, hey, it seems that our Uncle Liu is indeed a benevolent and righteous man..."
Yan Liang dug up Liu Bei's old accounts. When he mentioned the words "Lord of Benevolence and Righteousness", he deliberately emphasized his tone. The irony was self-evident.
This taunt undoubtedly rubbed salt on Mi Zhen's wounds. The beautiful young woman's delicate body was shocked again, and her watery eyes were filled with crystal clear things in the blink of an eye.
Liu Bei's ruthlessness had completely broken her heart.
Although Yan Liang's words were a bit cruel, their purpose was to wake her up and make her see Liu Bei's ruthless side thoroughly, so that she would no longer foolishly jump into the hot bed.
Seeing the beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, looking tender and compassionate, Yan Liang couldn't help but secretly feel a little pity for her.
"Even if you favor the new one, you won't abandon the old one. Isn't it just to have an extra mouth to talk about? Are you just afraid of offending Chen Deng, but you can throw away even your wife who is worthless? Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you did it really well."
Absolutely amazing."
When Yan Liang sighed, the tears in Mi Zhen's eyes became more and more full.
Yan Liang sighed: "I have long said that my wife can come and go as she pleases, and I will not stop you. If you want to go back to Xuzhou with your brother, I will never stop you."
Mi Zhen bit her red lips lightly, hesitated for a long time, but gritted her teeth and said: "Since he is so heartless, what's the point of going back as a concubine? Please tell the general to tell my brother that I want them to take me as my concubine. This sister is dead.
You don’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Yan Liang had an insight into people's hearts and had already sensed Mi Zhen's resentment. He expected that she would not go back, but it turned out that it was just as he expected.
"I and my sister have nowhere to go now. General Wan Wang has pity on us and must not drive us away."
When Mi Zhen heard Yan Liang's words, she thought she wanted to drive them away, and suddenly she felt a little panicked.
Yan Liang smiled boldly, waved his hand and said: "I, Yan Liang, can afford tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, let alone two women. As I said, you can stay here as long as you want."
Mi Zhen felt relieved and thanked her profusely.
If Mi Zhen still had a glimmer of hope last time, this time the remaining hope has been wiped out.
Even so, there was still some sadness in my heart, and the full tears eventually fell down.
Yan Liang didn't think much, stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away her falling tears.
Mi Zhen was in a state of sadness, and her mind was a little confused. When the warmth between her fingers touched her cold face, she felt a pleasant warmth. For a moment, she gently rubbed her face against Yan Liang's palm.
, forgetting myself and feeling the warmth of that generous hand.
The full moon fills the courtyard, and the beauty is as delicate as water.
Unable to resist, Yan Liang leaned down and kissed those moist red lips.
Mi Zhen, who was in a state of confusion, couldn't help but move her lips to cater to him.
At this moment, a startled sound was heard.
Mi Zhen suddenly woke up and quickly pushed Yan Liang away gently. She turned around and saw that her sister Gan Mei had appeared at the door at some point. At this time, her face was red and she was staring at them in shock.
