A night of silence.
Liu Mingzhi rested his head on his hands, looking at the night sky on the city wall and meditating for a long time before slowly falling asleep.
When he woke up, he was already covered with a medium-thin cloak. Admiral Dutong Hui'er was standing on his side, holding a sword and climbing high to look at the rebel camp outside the city.
Hearing the movement of Liu Mingzhi, Hui'er turned around and looked: "Master Liu, you are awake. There are soldiers guarding the city. If you don't have a good rest in the tent under the city, why did you sleep at the city head? If you were injured at night, The wind and cold will be troublesome.”
Liu Mingzhi rubbed the dirt from the corners of his eyes, and when he saw Hui'er standing not far away, he understood where the cloak on his body came from.
Gently folding the cloak and placing it on the battlement next to Hui'er: "Thank you for the cloak. How about it? Is there any movement outside the city?"
Hui'er shook her head gently: "Master Liu, you are too polite. If you hadn't come up with the plan, Hui'er would have already made it self-defeating. Now except for the rising smoke outside the city, there is no movement. Has Master Liu's plan taken effect?"
Liu Mingzhi took a step forward gently, making way for the soldiers who were changing defenses. He took out the telescope in his arms and looked at it. As expected, the rebel camp showed no signs of troops except for the smoke.
The silence was a bit eerie.
"Something is not quite right. It is still unknown whether the plan has worked. We must not take it lightly, just in case it is a trick by the rebels."
"Yes, Hui'er understands."
Liu Mingzhi put away the telescope in his hand, looked at the densely packed corpses under the city and sighed: "This is too cruel and inhumane. They don't even accept the corpses. Aren't the leaders of these rebels afraid of the death of rabbits and the sorrow of foxes?"
"Hui'er is also very puzzled. Yesterday, someone was sent to notify them to collect the corpses, but so far there has been no movement. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot now, otherwise there might be a plague."
Hui'er frowned as she looked at the densely packed corpses under the city. After a night, the bright red blood stains turned into dark brown, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
"Miss Hui'er, Your Majesty asked you to wait for me here. What do you want to say?"
Hui'er looked a little embarrassed: "Master Liu, do you know everything?"
"Let's get down to business first, shall we?"
Hui'er lowered her head: "Your Majesty asked Hui'er to tell Mr. Liu that thirty spies from the Admiralty Division have spread outside. As long as Mr. Liu leaves or the city is broken, the rebels will know all the resistance strategies and platoons. Master Liu is in control of the formation of troops."
Liu Mingzhi was startled: "It's obviously General Yeluhu. Damn!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hui'er who almost jumped three feet high with her head lowered. He looked at the tower not far away with an incredulous expression: "Why are these bitches so cruel? Are they diverting trouble to the east? Isn't this guy using a borrowed knife to kill someone?"
Liu Mingzhi felt a pain in his liver at this moment. No wonder the Queen was so sure last night that he would help her defend the city.
Today I finally realized that this woman had already made plans to succeed or die, planning to kill herself, forcing herself to make plans.
"Master Liu, there is one more thing your Majesty asked Hui'er to bring to you."
"Say it."
"Your Majesty congratulates Master Liu on the birth of his precious son. Your Majesty said that Master Liu will be very eager to see Young Master Liu. After all, the joy of becoming a father for the first time is difficult to suppress."
Liu Mingzhi's chest felt tight, and he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood. He looked at the tower and his face turned red: "Killing people is heart-breaking. You are such a vicious bitch. You want to play with me like this for any reason."
Hui'er pretended not to hear Young Master Liu calling the Queen such a girly name. Looking at Liu Mingzhi who was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he said softly: "Master Liu, Your Majesty."
"Call me a fool."
Liu Mingzhi said through gritted teeth.
"Take advantage of yourself? Isn't that bad?" Hui'er shrank her neck, showing no sign of the majesty of an admiral.
"No, you know it too? Why don't you know that? She is determined to drag this young master to live and die with her. Do you think her heart is dark?"
"this"
Hui'er bit her lower lip and didn't dare to answer.
"No, I want to go find her and ask her clearly what she means. Wasn't it just that I caught her for sex when we were in Jiangnan? Isn't it because she was so irresponsible that she tried to kill me like this when I slept with her?"
Hui'er's lips trembled and she covered her mouth with her right hand. She forgot about the unmoved Jin soldiers around her and breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that they couldn't understand the Han dialect: "It turns out that the rumors are true. Your Majesty is really being raped." "
Looking at Liu Mingzhi rushing towards the tower, Hui'er hurriedly ran over and stretched out her arms to stop Liu Mingzhi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, His Majesty is taking a bath, you can't go."
"Bath, bathe your head. She knows how to bathe when the two armies are fighting. Do you think Ben is a fool?"
"His Majesty is really taking a bath!"
"Really taking a shower?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hui'er in disbelief, staring intently into Hui'er's eyes.
Hui'er shrank her neck and nodded: "Yes."
Seeing Hui'er's appearance, Liu Mingzhi still didn't know what the Queen was up to. She was hiding from him.
Liu Mingzhi pulled Hui'er away and walked straight to the top of the city tower.
Hui'er looked at Liu Mingzhi's back and smiled softly, rubbing her neck: "Oh, it's not easy to pretend to be stupid. It's been a long time since I shrank my neck in fear like this."
After calming down and listening to the fact that there was no sound at all inside the tower, Liu Mingzhi didn't care about anything else, just opened the door and walked in.
A cry of surprise resounded in Liu Mingzhi's ears. Looking at the steaming tower and the looming white jade figure standing in the bathtub, Liu Mingzhi took a breath and closed the door without looking back and rushed down. Got the tower.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Hui'er who was guarding the city with a confused expression: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Hui'er looked at Liu Mingzhi aggrievedly: "Master Liu, Hui'er has been telling you that His Majesty is taking a bath, but you don't believe it and insist on going up."
"Then you should stop me. You are His Majesty's personal guard. Why don't you stop me?"
"I can't stop you. You looked like you were trying your best just now, but you can't beat Hui'er. If I try my best to stop you and hurt Master Liu, Hui'er will blame herself."
"You have convinced me. There is a rebellion in your Kingdom of Jin, and you have asked me to help you put down the rebellion. This is the first time in the world. Where is Yeluhu?"
Huier pointed in a direction.
Liu Mingzhi walked towards that side without looking back, intending to go to Yeluhu to discuss the matter of defending the city.
Only then did Liu Mingzhi realize that he had been led by the Queen.
"Grandma, you vixen is so damn smart, you can't play with it."
Liu Mingzhi cursed in a low voice and disappeared from the top of the city.
Hui'er sighed with a hint of guilt: "Master Liu, Hui'er's life belongs to Your Majesty, I can only feel sorry for you."
With gentle steps, Hui'er jumped up to the tower in a few clicks: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu has gone to find General Yeluhu."
The Queen held a military book in one hand and a cup of fragrant tea in the other. She chewed the tea foam on her lips from time to time and said word by word: "Dragon Gate Formation?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that what Hui'er heard was also the Dragon Gate Formation, and there seems to be some Eight Gate Gold or something."
"Dragon Gate Formation." The Queen nodded gently, took out a piece of gold from her arms and placed it on the table.
Sitting across from her was a palace maid with a pretty face, a figure as good as the queen's, and a misty black hair.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's get down."
The palace maid nodded respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
