On the dark bow, Xu Ruchang stood there helplessly, his body swaying in the wind. If he was still confident about capturing Suzhou before, now, Xu Ruchang has realized that this city of Suzhou may become his nightmare.
And a piece of news that made Xu Ruchang even more depressed, he just learned. It was said by a deputy general who had escaped. He said that he saw a person on the tower on the boat, because he had been in Jinling two or three years ago. Having seen that person before, the lieutenant general roughly recognized that person. That person turned out to be the Emperor of Chu, Li Yuan!
Xu Ruchang couldn't figure out how Li Yuan, who was supposed to be in the Chu army's commander's tent, suddenly appeared in the Suzhou city of Wuyue Kingdom. He absolutely refused to believe it. But the lieutenant swore that he was right. Although it was night, the fire was as bright as day. He could see the man's face and expression, and he was absolutely right.
Xu Ruchang saw that he spoke solemnly, and when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the Wu Yue defenders in Suzhou City used exquisite methods and did not panic at all. It was an expert who was in charge here.
During tonight's battle, being able to adapt quickly and use fire attacks to force out loopholes in one's plan is obviously not something that ordinary people can do. Xu Ruchang, who had already heard about Li Yuan's past achievements, felt that no one except Li Yuan could have such means.
But if it is really Li Yuan who is in charge of Suzhou, then things may be tricky, because not only is this world-famous general's extraordinary talent, but it also means that there is a high possibility that there is an elite Chu army hidden in Suzhou city. When the emperor of the country travels, how can he not be accompanied by his own army to protect him? Xu Ruchang's heart suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
"Marshal Xu, Your Highness, please go and ask questions." A chamberlain whispered in Xu Ruchang's ear.
Xu Ruchang frowned. He knew that Li Jingsui was going to bother him again. Originally, I wanted to calm down and think about how to break the city, but now I have to spend time explaining to him the cause of today's defeat, and maybe listen to his seemingly tactful but sinister accusations.
Xu Ruchang let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky, but it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, like the bottom of a black pot.
"This Li Jingsui seems to have no energy. Maybe I, Xu Ruchang, have gone the wrong way." This thought suddenly came to Xu Ruchang's heart.
"But no matter what, there is no turning back. Even if it is a dead end, we can only go to the dark side." Another voice in the bottom of my heart told myself.
Xu Ruchang shook his head, calmed down, and walked towards the brightly lit ship hall with empty steps.
There, Li Jingsui, with a sad face and a mournful face, was lying on the throne, like a lazy snake with its muscles and bones removed.
...
Li Yuan woke up from a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, the room was filled with sunlight and the surroundings were quiet. Outside the wooden window, the shadows of the trees are dancing, the breeze is blowing, and the crisp calls of birds come and go.
Li Yuan shook his head and remembered what happened after the battle last night. After the battle yesterday, Li Yuan originally directed everyone to clean up the battlefield, but because he was too exhausted, he fell asleep in the tower without knowing it. When Gu Mingli, Sun Chengyou and others went to the city to congratulate him, he was still snoring loudly.
Later, at the strong request of Gu Mingli and others, he went down to the city and returned to Gu's house to take a bath and rest. Considering that the Jin army has recently experienced a huge setback and will not make much action in a short period of time, Li Yuan is not too worried.
Li Yuan smiled bitterly when he thought of returning to Gu's house to take a bath last night. His whole body was covered in blood, and it took him three buckets of hot water to wash himself clean. It is said that the bath water poured out the first two times was blood red and smelled bad. But this was all other people's blood. When Li Yuan was taking a bath, he found that there was not even a single scar on his body, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, it seems that it is getting late. Li Yuan didn't know how long he had slept. He was thinking about the defense of the city, so he quickly picked up his clothes and got up. However, he found that he had nothing to wear except his middle coat. The jacket and armor on his body must have been thrown away by the Gu family's servants after taking a bath last night. They were covered with blood, flesh and dirt, and they were indeed unwearable.
"Is there anyone there?" Li Yuan shrank back into the bed, raised his neck and shouted outside.
Rapid footsteps sounded in the corridor, and when the door curtain opened, Gu Yingying's pretty face
Pang appeared at the door.
"Are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Gu Yingying smiled like a flower and her eyes were full of love.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "If you, Mrs. Gu, don't get me some clothes, I will jump out with my butt naked."
Gu Yingying was startled and said angrily: "The clothes have been prepared for you, don't mess around."
Li Yuan laughed, and Gu Yingying went out with a blushing face. After a while, she came in with a pile of new clothes, placed them on Li Yuan's bedside, turned around, and went out.
Li Yuan asked: "What time is it now? How can I sleep here?"
Gu Yingying turned around and said: "You have only slept for three or four hours, and it is already late. My grandfather asked me to tell you so that you don't worry. He is personally in charge at the top of the city. If there is any trouble, he will order someone to notify you. You. Just have a good sleep."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "That can't be done. It's not that I don't believe your grandfather, I'm worried that the Jin army will jump over the wall in a hurry. The beating last night hurt them, how can they just give up."
Gu Yingying said softly: "The battle last night was really scary. I didn't expect you to fight them off. The way you looked when you came back here last night scared me. You were covered in blood, as if you had been injured. It looked like you were seriously injured. Later, when I heard from the servant who was serving you that you were unscathed, I breathed a sigh of relief and felt incredible. Are you really not injured?"
Li Yuan was deeply moved when he saw Gu Yingying's frightened look. If anyone in Suzhou really cares about his own safety, I'm afraid it's Gu Yingying.
"Come here." Li Yuan waved.
Gu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then walked towards the bed. Li Yuan leaned over and took her hand and pulled it hard. Gu Yingying fell down on the quilt with an ouch. When she struggled to get up, she was hugged by Li Yuan.
"Don't say goodbye, what are you going to do?" Gu Yingying blushed and struggled.
Li Yuan took her hand and reached into his body, whispering in her ear: "Check whether I am injured yourself, so as not to say I lied to you."
Gu Yingying's hand touched the strong and hot muscles of Li Yuan's body, and she shrank her hand away in shame. Li Yuan held her hand and forced her to touch her body with her little hands. He smiled and said, "I checked your injuries on the boat that day. Now you can retaliate in kind..."
Li Yuan couldn't restrain himself. He hadn't been close to women for many days and had accumulated too much energy in his body. After all the tossing, it became even more hard and hot. In addition, he was only wearing middle clothes, and his ugly appearance suddenly appeared.
Although Gu Yingying was inhumane, she was still an inexperienced person. Under such entanglement, she almost lost her bottom line. When she was letting you pick her, she found that Li Yuan suddenly stopped intruding and left Gu Yingying's house. body.
Gu Yingying also woke up, exclaimed, jumped up quickly, turned around and quickly arranged her clothes, her face was red and bleeding.
Li Yuan looked at Gu Yingying with a smile and said, "I promised you, I can control it."
Gu Yingying stamped her feet and shouted: "You are a bad person."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Is this a bad guy? Then you don't know what I look like when I'm bad. You also need to tidy up your bun, it's all messed up."
Gu Yingying stumbled to the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and found that her bun was sideways, her face was red, and her makeup was all messed up. The flowers on her eyebrows, the pink and white on her face, and the tattoos on her lips were all a mess, and she couldn't look straight at them.
"Don't look at me... I'm going to touch up my makeup. When you get up, go to the front hall and I'll have someone prepare food. I'm sorry I can't accompany you anymore." Gu Yingying spoke hurriedly, her voice When he disappeared, he had already rushed out of the room. Li Yuan saw his ghostly appearance and was almost dying.
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He gathered his mood and slowly dressed and got up. He recalled the lingering moment just now in his mind. The warmth and sweetness on his lips, teeth, nose, and palms lingered, and the physical reaction was difficult to subside for a long time.
If it weren't for the inappropriateness of this place, how could Li Yuan let go of this delicious food? But this was in the guest room of the Gu family, where people were densely packed, and it was a critical time to defend the city, so no mistakes could be made. No matter how much he wanted to punish Gu Yingying on the spot, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
It’s so easy to get dressed
He went to bed, combed his hair neatly, and stepped out of the room. There was no one outside, and Gu Yingying was nowhere to be found. The yard was full of sunshine, the breeze was blowing a few patches of green, and the branches were swaying in various shapes.
There is a sweet smell in the air, fresh and warm. Li Yuan was in a good mood and took a deep breath, letting the fresh fragrance fill his heart and lungs.
