"Your Majesty…"
"Hmm?"
After the door of the study was closed, Zhang Qian could only shyly call out," Husband." With this affectionate call, Zhang Qian's entire body softened, as sweet as a bowl of honey.
"Do you want your husband's love again?”Liu Yu's hands brushed past Zhang Qian's long hair, and Zhang Qian's hairpin was taken off. Her long hair fell down like a waterfall, giving her a more homey feel.
Zhang Qian glanced at Liu Yu. Her eyes were filled with both anger and love. In the end, she suddenly threw herself into Liu Yu's arms and punched Liu Yu's shoulders weakly with her small fists.
"You little enemy, you're clearly still a youth, but this servant can't stop.”
……
After a long time, Zhang Qian leaned into Liu Yu's arms and asked softly,""Husband, I came here today to ask you something.”
"Oh? If you have anything to ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know!”
When Zhang Qian heard what he said, she felt so sweet that her heart was about to melt."Husband, Jiang 'er asked me what the torture tool looked like and why everyone was so scared. I've never seen it before, but I couldn't stand her constant questioning, so I came to ask my husband to tell me.”
Ah, so it was because of this matter that this king took advantage of you again?
Liu Yu wanted to bring her to take a look, but a bad idea suddenly welled up in his heart. He pulled her up with a strange smile.
"Your husband will draw a picture for you. Take a look and you will naturally know what the torture tool looks like.”
Hence, Liu Yu raised his brush and began to draw on it seriously. Zhang Qian looked at it attentively at first and was very curious.
However, as they watched, Liu Yu's smile grew wider, while Zhang Qian's face turned red.
"Look, this is the punishment of being branded. It's mainly this huge and thick pillar and the stove below. When the fire inside is too strong, this copper pillar will turn red. It's very powerful!”
"Husband, don't say anymore, don't say anymore…"
Zhang Qian looked at the ferocious bronze pillar and her entire body went limp.
Liu Yu laughed." How is it? Isn't the punishment of being branded scary?"”
Zhang Qian glared at Liu Yu." My husband is always teasing me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked!"”
Liu Yu picked her up." I'm not teasing you. The torture tool used for the branding is indeed like that!" However, he could not ask anyone else in the future!”
Zhang Qian covered her face. Who wants to ask it again!"
"Not only are you not allowed to ask, even Jiang 'er and the others are not allowed to ask others about this!”
When Zhang Qian heard this, she angrily punched Liu Yu again.""Husband, your appetite is really big!”
……
Xue Rengui had already taken over Lunu County.
Ever since Zhang Liang had been branded and the back of his head had been refined, leaving only his front, the Yellow Turban bandits had been spreading the news. They were so scared that their souls left their bodies. The remnants of the Yellow Turban bandits gave up on Lu Nu and went to join Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao.
"Your Majesty's use of the branding torture is really perfect!”
Xue Rengui was deeply impressed by this and felt the pressure on him decrease.
The north and west of the Central Mountain Country were close to the main mountain range of Taihang Mountain, so the army could not pass through. Now that Zhang Liang's bandits had been wiped out and Lu Nu had been taken back, there were almost no bandits in the entire west and north.
Next was to welcome Zhang Jiao from Julu in the southeast and Zhang Bao from Ye City in the southwest.
"Men! Call Guan Hai, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, and Lu Da to discuss the matter!”
Ever since the arrival of Lin Chong and the other two, Xue Rengui had become even more high-spirited. He knew that his chance had come.
"Chong Lin doesn't talk much, but every word he says is meaningful. He's an intelligent person! His martial arts were not bad and could be called first-class. He would be of great use in the future!”
"This Xu Ning seems to have the demeanor of a great master. Using him to defend the city will definitely be safe!”
"As for that boorish Lu Da, there is a job that suits him best!”
Not long after, the four generals walked in, and Xue Rengui began to give orders.
"The scouts reported that Zhang Bao's 200,000 rebel soldiers have arrived at Qu Yang, only two days 'journey from Wuji County where the king is! Instead of waiting for them to surround the city, why not use our cavalry advantage and launch a long distance attack!”
The generals nodded.
"Lu Da, the king's birthday is approaching. I will transfer 5,000 citizens to escort the birthday plan to Wuji County as a congratulatory gift.”
"General, didn't you say that you were going to attack the bandits?" Lu Da was dumbfounded. Why do you want me to do this?"
"I'm asking if you're willing. What are you talking about?" Xue Rengui said with a straight face. If you continue to talk nonsense, stay and guard the city!"
When Lu Da heard this, he immediately nodded unwillingly."You want me to defend the city? The next battle is in Wuji County, why am I guarding here? I'd rather escort the birthday scroll!"
Xue Rengui nodded in satisfaction."Alright then, you should leave now. Quickly go and prepare and leave as soon as possible.”
"What? I also want to hear what kind of living arrangements they have.”Lu Da started to dawdle reluctantly.
"They are going to follow this marshal to lead the troops into battle. It's useless for you to listen. Hurry up and prepare. If you delay this marshal's important matters, don't even think about getting the chance to fight in the future!”
Lu Da's two flying eyebrows immediately raised, and the rosary beads on his neck trembled. He was obviously angry.
When Xue Rengui saw this, he said in a deep voice,""When you come back from work, I will reward you with good wine!”
Lu Da was stunned, and joy flashed in his eyes."If you had said there was wine, I would have left long ago!”
Therefore, Lu Da took the dragon-carved crescent shovel and went out. Although he was dissatisfied with this task, he thought of the good wine he would have when he returned, so he still escorted hundreds of carts of gold to Wuji County.
Seeing Lu Da leave, Chong Lin couldn't help but frown."Marshal, this brother of mine is reckless and likes to drink. With him escorting the birthday scroll, I'm afraid something will happen. Why don't I go with him and take care of him on the road?”
Xue Rengui smiled and waved his hand." You're right. Lu Da is indeed reckless and easily causes trouble!" However, if not, how am I supposed to execute my plan?”
"Commander, are you trying to lure the bandits into attacking us with the birthday scroll?" Lin Chong's eyes lit up.”
"That's right!" Xue Rengui nodded.”
Chong Lin and Xu Ning exchanged a smile, then cupped their hands and said,""Xue Shuai's brilliant plan, I'm impressed!"
Xue Rengui waved his hand." Don't flatter the two of you. Although the large group of bandits from Zhang Liang has scattered, there are still a small group of bandits who have escaped into Taihang. We still need someone to guard the Anxi and Lunu areas to prevent the bandits from taking advantage of the situation to come in and rob us. Guan Hai is rash, only one of you can be the city guard. You guys discuss it and see who is willing to stay.”
Both of them wanted to fight, but they also knew that Xue Rengui's words made sense, so both of them became humble and said that they were willing to stay behind.
Xu Ning finally took out his unique skill."I want to train a team of hook and sickle spearmen. If I stay, I can defend the city and train them. It's killing two birds with one stone.”
