Just now Liu Xin passed. He had long expected that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go. Since he had anticipated that Guan Yu would let Liu Bei go. However, Guan Yu was still sent to capture Liu Bei. This can only explain one thing. Liu Xin fell in love with Cao Hui. He wanted to find an excuse to get rid of Guan Yu. Because Guan Yu had already surrendered to Liu Xin. Of course Liu Xin couldn't kill him blatantly. So as not to chill the world's virtuous heart. Had to find such an opportunity.
Cao Bao, who is accustomed to playing tricks and tricks, thought of this. Can't help feeling a little proud. He said flatly, "If an adult is fond of a little girl..."
"Shut up." Liu Xin didn't wait for his words to finish. Already understood what he meant. Can not help furious. Slap the table. Stood up.
But Liu Xin quickly returned to calm. Sit down again. The child in Cao Hui's belly is a long thread that tied Guan Yu. He had to be more cautious when dealing with Cao Bao. There was a long silence. Liu Xin finally said: "Cao Leopard. I will spare your life this time. Only half of your property will be stolen from you. You will be demoted to a commoner. You will never be an official.
There are four great families in Xuzhou: Mi, Cao, Chen, and Sun. After Mi Zhu left Xiangyang. The Cao family became Xuzhou's premier family. Even if half of the property was confiscated. It can still be regarded as a rich family. Cao Bao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Spend money to eliminate disasters. Being able to save your life is more important than anything else. As for being an improper official. It doesn't matter. As long as you have money in your hands. You can still eat well. Cao Bao hurriedly fell to his knees. Thank you again and again towards Liu Xin. Until he was dragged out by the guards.
Liu Xin turned to Qin Yi. He sneered and said: "Hmph. You are Qin Yi. I heard that you are Lv Bu's old ministry. I used to sneak into Xiangyang with Lv Bu. I helped Liu Bei raise grain and grass all day long. The crime is not small."
When Liu Xin dealt with Cao Bao just now. Qin Yi kept fighting. Now I heard what Liu Xin said. It's not possessed by the soul. He knelt down with a "plop". Even condemned for mercy. He was tied up by Wuhuada. Kneeling can't be straight. Simply lay down there.
Liu Xin looked down on such a cartilage head most. Can't help but ridicule: "Qin Yi. You want me to forgive you. But is there anything you deserve for me to forgive you?"
Qin Yi was originally a foreigner in Xuzhou. There is no field. Even the house he lived in was given by Liu Bei. And that's still the old product of Mi's family. Will be taken away soon. Qin Yi was dumbfounded by Liu Xin's words. Suddenly remembered what Liu Xin had said. Cao Bao could escape his life. It's all due to him having a good daughter.
When it was in Chang'an. Li Ru once spread rumors around. Said Liu Xin is a womanizer. The dialogue between Liu Xin and Cao Bao just now confirmed this point even more. Although Qin Yi does not have a daughter. But he has a wife who looks like a fairy. Thought of this. Qin Yi seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw. Repeatedly said: "My lord. I have. I have."
Liu Xinqi said: "What do you have."
Qin Yi hurriedly said: "My clumsy wife is pretty. She is willing to offer her to an adult."
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Liu has taken down this city of Xuzhou. Your woman was originally Liu's trophy. Wouldn't Liu take it for herself? Does he still need you to offer it? Liu did not hide it from you. Yours The woman and son had already been taken into the back house by someone sent by Liu."
The civil and military in the hall burst into bursts of laughter. The smile was full of sarcasm. Ashamed, Qin Yi's face was flushed. Can't wait to find a place to get in.
Liu Xin suddenly sank. He shouted sternly: "Qin Yi. It's like you are a villain who takes his wife in exchange for his life. What's the use of keeping you? Drag it out and chop it off. Hang out for publicity."
Qin Yi shouted hoarsely for mercy. But he was pulled out like a dead dog by the guards. in fact. Liu Xin didn't necessarily have to put Qin Yi to death. but. He knows better. Guan Yu was completely obsessed with Du Xiuniang's beauty. Although Guan Yu wanted to ask Liu Xin to reward him with Du Xiuniang through meritorious service. But as long as Qin Yi didn't die. Presumably Guan Yu even got Du Xiuniang. This heart is always not so comfortable. In order to completely subdue Guan Yu. Liu Xin had to take Qin Yi's life first.
Wait until everyone retreats. Jushou said, "Maybe the lord wants to keep that woman."
Although Jushou had never met Du Xiuniang. But he knew the news that Song shopkeeper inquired. According to the description of the treasurer Song. Du Xiuniang's beauty is nothing in the world. Both Liu Bei and Guan Yu are obsessed with it. He was really worried that Liu Xin would lose his righteousness for a while. In the capacity of Liu Xin. Even if he took Qin Yi's woman. It's not a big deal either. But Liu Xin wanted to subdue Guan Yu's affairs. Jushou is clear. He didn't want Liu Xin to lose out because of his small mistakes.
Liu Xin saw Jushou's face full of worry. Could not help laughing out loud. Said: "Public and. You remind me. I can't wait. I want to see what the life of a woman who can make Guan Yu's dreams look like. How is it? Do you want to go and see with Liu."
Jushou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The lord's inner house. The subordinates dare not enter."
Liu Xin ignored him. Turned around and entered the back house.
This was Mi Zhu's mansion. It was first given to Liu Bei by Tao Qian. Now it is temporarily requisitioned by Liu Xin. Because Liu Xin is carrying a female family. For the convenience of living. So it was used as a temporary residence. but. The owner of the house, Mi Zhu, has no objection to this arrangement. And quite happy.
right now. Except for Diaochan and Yan Rui who live in the backyard. Mother and son Du Xiu and Cao Hui were placed here. In addition. Gan Mei and the original maidservant in Liu Bei's mansion also stayed here. It was not sent elsewhere.
Although it is in the back house. Diaochan's face was still covered with a thin veil. When I saw Liu Xin. Diao Chan greeted him. Jiao Jiao said: "Master. You are back. Why are the slaves not allowed to take off this veil in this back house."
Since knowing that Guan Yu is also a lascivious. Liu Xin was extra careful. He believed. Even Guan Yu fell. Others will not be any better. Since Diao Chan can be ranked among the four ancient beauties. That appearance is naturally nothing to say. Although Liu Xin has never liked keeping her woman in a cage. But it does not want to cause unnecessary trouble. So every time I go out. Liu Xin didn't stop Diao Chan from wearing the veil.
originally. In the house. Diaochan didn't need to hide his appearance. But the situation is different now. Three unrelated women lived in the inner house. Among these three women. Except for Cao Hui, it was Guan Yu's wife. The other two women. Liu Xin is also going to give Guan Yu, a "lewd man". Liu Xin didn't want Diaochan's beauty to pass into Guan Yu's ears through the mouths of these women.
Of course. Liu Xin would not say these words to Diao Chan. He smiled. Said: "You just came from Jiangnan. The climate here is much drier than Jiangnan. I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to it for a while. In case you blow your water-like delicate skin badly. Lord, I will feel distressed."
Diaochan lowered his head shyly. He whispered: "Master. You made fun of the slave again."
Liu Xin laughed. The matter of requiring Diaochan to wear a veil was covered up. Said: "How about it. Mrs. Guan is all settled there."
Diaochan smiled at Liu Xin. Said: "Master's orders. The slave family dare not try their best. Not only is it arranged for Madam Guan, but even Madam Qin has arranged it. However, the slave family looks at a rare object from Madam Qin."
Liu Xin knew that what Diaochan saw was the hosta. He smiled and said: "I told you a long time ago. Don't ask if you shouldn't. I will give you a better jewelry in the future. Where is that woman arranged. Take me to see."
to be frank. Liu Xin couldn't wait to see Du Xiuniang. Guan is not that he wants to fight with Guan Yu for some woman. It was only because Guan Yu repeatedly mentioned it in front of him. Aroused Liu Xin's curiosity.
I heard that Liu Xin was going to see Du Xiuniang. Diaochan was obviously a little uncomfortable in her heart. Said quietly, "Master, why don't you go and see Liu Bei's wife first."
Liu Xin felt the drunkenness in Diaochan's words. Laughed. Said: "Okay. Then follow my chan'er. First, let's see how Liu Bei's wife looks like."
It has been more than half a year since I moved into this big house. Until Xuzhou City was breached. Gan Mei is all alone guarding vacancies. but. She has long been accustomed to such a life. I just didn't expect that one day I would become someone else's prisoner of war. I felt a little nervous.
Gan Mei sat in front of the bronze mirror. Looking at the pretty face in the mirror. Sigh secretly. This flower-like body. I don't know who will fall into it. She is weak by nature. But he is a wise man. A beautiful prisoner like her. The final outcome is predictable.
suddenly. The door was gently pushed open. A woman's voice came softly: "Mrs. Liu. My master sees you coming."
Gan Mei turned back. Recognizing that it was the woman who had just come to comfort her. And she has heard about it. This veiled woman is Liu Xin's Seventh Lady. Then the young man following the Seventh Lady must be the master she was talking about. That is Liu Xin. Gan Mei hurriedly stood up. She was deeply blessed and said: "The lowly concubine has seen the master and the madam. In front of the master and the madam. The lowly concubine can't afford this title."
Liu Xin raised his hand. Indicate that Gan Mei needn't be polite. Wait until Gan Mei stands up straight. He just took a closer look. This historically famous Mrs. Gan is indeed very beautiful. That pretty face is as white as jade. Just a little haggard. And a little melancholy. Liu Xin couldn't help but nodded secretly. Although Gan Mei is wearing a thick long skirt. But from her face and her arms outside the floor. Rumors say that she should have fair skin. Although Liu Xin is very curious about these rumors. But I can only guess. He was not shameless enough to let Gan Mei take off his clothes to verify him.
Although Ganmei can be regarded as a beauty. But except for a little whiter skin. Compared with those women in Liu Xin's house, their appearance was still slightly inferior. Seeing Gan Mei's expression of anxiety. Liu Xin said with a smile: "Mrs. Gan. You can rest assured to live here. I have already given orders. No one dares to disturb you."
Diao Chan smiled and said, "Master. You have already seen this Madam Liu. How do you feel."
