Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The man speaking behind Mrs. Chen's hall is Li Yu. Not long ago, a coup d'état occurred in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he fled to the Zhou Dynasty to seek the protection of the emperor.

Li Yu and his wife were entertained in the hall from the beginning. When Guo Shao came, he had just retreated and did not go far, so his voice was heard. Not long after Mrs. Chen met Guo Shao, Li Yu was invited to the hall to take a seat; his wife went to bathe and change clothes.

Mrs. Chen covered her face with a veiled hat, and came out to salute: "I just had a distinguished guest, and I have neglected the sixth prince, please forgive me."

"Don't dare." Li Yu sighed with sadness on his face, "Don't dare to be called a prince anymore, especially in Tokyo, how good is it to be heard?" I saw that he looks elegant and behaves quite Confucianism, but his face is relatively ordinary at first glance... Li Yu has double pupils, one eyeball and two pupils, and two cheeks are slightly larger. It is said that he has a return to his ancestors, and he is a rare person.

Seeing Li Yu's melancholy, Mrs. Chen understood him. Because of the coup d'état just happened in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu has changed from a prince to a bereaved dog. (Otherwise, as Mrs. Chen, she would not be able to meet the noble prince in such a posture; but now that Li Yu is down, Mrs. Chen only needs to meet as a relative of Zhou Xian's cousin.)

...The prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Yu's elder brother Li Hongji recommended Chai Kehong as a general during the Battle of Huainan, and split up with Chai Kehong to defeat the Wuyue army, so he was established as the prince. After Li Hongji took the crown prince, his desire for power expanded, and his power became more and more powerful. Unexpectedly, Chai Kehong's defeat in Haozhou directly caused the turmoil of the Southern Tang army in the entire Huainan area, which greatly accelerated the defeat of Huainan;

Li Hongji did nothing but poisoned his uncle to death, which shocked the government and the public for a while. Even the lord Li Jing was afraid, and was forced to abdicate, and made the crown prince Li Hongji the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, while he retreated behind the scenes to ensure peace.

This is the recent coup in the Southern Tang Dynasty that shocked the world! People in Tokyo occasionally mentioned it, but the Zhou Dynasty also experienced violent turmoil, so Tokyo did not pay too much attention to the south and was too busy to take care of itself.

Mrs. Chen was originally from Yangzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so she is very clear about this matter.

After hearing the name of the sixth prince for a long time, Mrs. Chen admired Li Yu very much, but now she can see her, but she has an indescribable feeling... Yes, it is contempt! Although she won't show it, she does start to despise this noble prince in her heart.

Compared with Li Hongji's political methods, Li Yu is simply too weak. After Li Hongji succeeded, he hinted that his younger brother quietly served Zhou Xian as his servant. In addition to being greedy for beauty, he also wanted to test his younger brother Li Yu's attitude;

Not even a little resistance!

Mrs. Chen is also aware of the recent series of mutinies in Tokyo, and she just met Guo Shao; comparing Guo Shao with Li Yu, she feels completely incomparable... It can be seen that Li Yu is a kind and good man, but he can't keep his wife, so he can only beg for pity everywhere. He is a good man. Fortunately, he was born in the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he lived in a place where arrogant soldiers and powerful generals were rampant in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would have died faster and had no power to parry.

Mrs. Chen said in her heart: If Guo Shao was someone like Li Yu, the second wife of the Fu family who married him would have been insulted by countless people. But Guo Shao has nothing to do up to now, and his power is getting bigger and bigger. It can be seen that his ability and wisdom have really been experienced in mountains of swords and seas of fire, and arrogant soldiers.

... Li Yu opened his mouth to speak, and then Mrs. Chen came back from the state of being a little distracted.

Li Yu said casually: "Usually I heard Ehuang (Zhou Xian) say that she has a cousin who is not in the eunuch's house, but she has a lot of friends. Today, I suddenly feel that the reputation is well-deserved. The entourage around the guest just now is really strange."

"Young master Liu said..." Mrs. Chen suddenly said, "It is said that his name is Dong Er. Although he is a villain, he is a dead man, and he can be regarded as a strong man."

"It's just too stinky." Li Yu shook his head and said, "When I just avoided it, I could also smell the disgusting smell inside. A beautiful woman like Mrs. Chen can bear it."

A smile appeared in Mrs. Chen's eyes: "Stinking is just a trifle. I feel that General Guo treats his subordinates informally, kindly, and sincerely. No wonder he can achieve great things. Even though that man came from a lowly family background and was covered in dirty and smelly clothes, he was wearing the cloak that was taken off by the most powerful general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know if the sixth son noticed it.

"Oh?" Li Yu said in a daze, "The most powerful general in Dazhou now?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard a gentle voice from the curtain of the small door saying: "Cousin is talking about a person named Guo Shao?"

When Chen Jiali turned her head, she saw a tall and graceful figure, it was her cousin Zhou Xian who was speaking. Chen Jiali said: "It's him. General Guo should be very famous in Southern Tang. No wonder my cousin guessed it right."

"It's more than famous!" Li Yu also stared at his eyes. "Famous generals such as Liu Renzhan and Chai Kehong were once known as the gods of war in our country. No one believed that they could be defeated by Zhou Jun, but they were defeated by Guo Shao one after another! Sigh...there are such people in the Zhou Dynasty, how safe are they?"

Chen Jiali gently mentioned: "This kind of people is not uncommon in the Zhou Dynasty, but they are not so easy to control. Does the sixth son know Zhao Kuangyin's name?"

"It's like thunder." Li Yu said, "But this person's tricks are not righteous, and he intends to rebel."

After hearing this, Chen Jiali felt that the words were not speculative, and she didn't want to talk about military affairs anymore.

Zhou Xian said in a gentle voice: "Husband, please come in."

Li Yu cupped his fists to Chen Jiali and said, "I'm really sorry for the delay."

Not long after, Chen Jiali heard her cousin's voice inside, saying in a coquettish tone: "Although I have servants to help me, I still like the weight of my husband, the tightness is right, and it's uncomfortable to increase or decrease."

After a while, Li Yu's voice said: "Is this okay? I've been distracted for a while, and I can't calm down."

Zhou Xian's voice is very pleasant, more charming than any silk and bamboo orchestral melody, just listening to her talk is a kind of enjoyment, and Chen Jiali, a woman, feels numb when she hears it, "Husband, don't panic, no matter what happens, don't you still have me by your side?"

Li Yu sighed: "The luckiest thing in my life is to meet Ehuang. I hope to win the hearts of the people, and the white heads will not be separated."

"Husband..." Zhou Xian's voice almost melted into water.

But Chen Jiali was about to get goosebumps when she heard it, these two people are too outrageous, they came to my house as guests from the Zhou Dynasty Hall, but left the host aside, just caring about each other like glue. She couldn't help but think of her deceased husband, feeling desolate in her heart...Hmph! Back then, my ex-husband was also obedient to me, no worse than the two of you!

Angrily, Chen Jiali picked up the freshly brewed tea and poured it down, "Ah!" Chen Jiali cried out in pain, tears filled her eyes immediately after being scalded.

"Cousin!" Zhou Xian hurriedly opened the curtain and walked out when he heard the cry, looking at her with concern.

When Chen Jiali saw her, she immediately had to admit defeat. The decoration of this hall of mine and everyone here are completely her foil! Chen Jiali is also a very rare beauty, so rare that she dares not see others, and she usually hides it hypocritically; but in front of Zhou Xian, she really can't be hypocritical.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is afraid of comparison. Chen Jiali has seen many women since she was born, including noble ladies from all over the world, but Zhou Xian is the most beautiful she has ever seen in this world, not one of them; far beyond the beauties in the world, even Chen Jiali is eclipsed in front of her.

I'm afraid that even Baihua would be ashamed of their looks, their bright eyes, their bright and flawless colors, their well-proportioned faces... not only their faces, but also the beautiful outlines of their chest, waist, hips, and legs, all natural and just right... their gentle temperament, elegant and soft down to every detail of their behavior, the whole person is like a woman among women. Why is God so unfair, the beauty of thousands of people is given to her without hesitation.

The great beauty Chen Jiali who hides and dares not show her face to the world, the woman whom the wealthy Shen family wants to remarry at any cost... She suddenly felt that she was just a vulgar and ordinary person, not that special. Chen Jiali, who was proud of her beauty, felt lost at this moment.

"I accidentally got burned myself." Chen Jiali hurriedly turned her back and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, leaving behind the purple teacup and water stains that had been dumped on the table.

Zhou Xian whispered: "Husband, don't talk about it, I'm afraid my cousin will be sad."

When Chen Jiali heard this, she thought to herself: I just said a few words with Li Yu here alone, you are deliberately angry with me! You still say that hypocritically... thinking that I don't know that you are jealous but small-minded.

Chen Jiali forced herself to swallow her tears, tried her best to show a slight smile, turned around and said, "I just got burned, why did I say sad? I saw that my cousin and younger brother are getting along well. I envy you, and it's too late to be happy for you."

Her envy is not fake. On one occasion, Chen Jiali thought that Li Yu's military and political abilities were just child's play, and it would be unserious to let him preside over the military state; but Li Yu was decent in appearance, talented, elegant in conversation, rich in wealth, and dedicated to his wife. His cousin was also a blessing in life, which was very enviable. Even Chen Jiali had to admit that in a woman's heart, love is more important than military affairs.

"Cousin should find someone else, everyone can understand your hard work." Zhou Xian said softly.

Chen Jiali remained calm, but Zhou Xian's little tricks could not be hidden from others, but from her. Chen Jiali only looked at her shoulders, and knew that Zhou Xian, who had just sat down, quietly held Li Yu's hand under the table, as if she was afraid that others would snatch her.

"I'm not looking, and I don't have to worry about other people's people." Chen Jiali said angrily.

Zhou Xian said quietly: "Cousin is still so stingy."

"I don't know who is stingy!" Chen Jiali said.

Li Yu saw the two bickering and said with a smile: "Forget it, Ehuang, don't say a few words. We didn't know the place when we came to Tokyo, and the officials of the Zhou Dynasty Li Hall ignored us. Only my cousin regarded us as my own."

Chen Jiali said: "My family here is poor, and I can receive the sixth son and my cousin, and I am so honored that it is too late."

Only then did Zhou Xian say: "Finally, I'm still a stubborn person in my boudoir. It's good that my cousin doesn't treat us as outsiders." Turning to look at Li Yu, he said, "My husband is closer to my cousin than to my own family."

Li Yu hurriedly poured a cup of tea, blew it himself, tasted it hot and cold, then handed it to Zhou Xian, and said softly: "It's not hot or cold, it's just ready to drink. I know that I just soaked in water after taking a bath, but it's easy to get thirsty."

Zhou Xian stretched out his jade-white and soft barley, took the teacup gracefully, and lightly sipped his naturally smooth and beautiful vermilion lips. Li Yu was fascinated by taking a sip of water.
