In midsummer in June, when it is noon, the sun is still scorching on the plains of Chu.

Xu Buling took more than ten light cavalry to the front line barracks and continued to quell the rebellion of the four kings for the court. However, this time he came out, his identity was obviously different; King Su Xu You and the 100,000 Xiliang Army were in charge of Guanzhong, and the emperor was young and prime minister Xiao Chuyang handled the government affairs on his behalf, which basically means that the Xu family had the final say. Xu Buling was naturally recognized as the commander of the rebels, while Guan Hongye was transferred back to Guanzhong and stayed in the Guan family's house to retire.

The confrontation between the two armies is not a matter of one day or one night. In addition, the weather is too hot and you can't walk under the scorching sun during the day, and you are all rushing to the road at night.

During the war, there was already a small population, and at noon there was no one in the shadows. It was built in the inn next to the official road. Several guards of the royal palace patroled in the shade, while the rest rested in the inn.

Cui Xiaowan stayed alone in the room, lying on the bed covered with a mat, looking up at the roof, and sighing from time to time.

The guest rooms are not simple, but they are just ordinary houses. They don’t have the function of warm winter and cool summer. The sun almost makes the tiles red, and the room becomes like a steamer, and even the mat is hot.

Cui Xiaowan took everything lightly, but after all, she was a woman who was not good at martial arts and was weak. She could not even feel hot and cold. She was tired after rushing all night, and she was almost steamed and couldn't sleep.

In the past, in Peach Blossom Valley, summer was very cool. Even when it was the hottest, she could still go to the river to take a wild bath. She was the only one in the world, and she would do whatever she wanted. It was obviously not possible in the inn. Cui Xiaowan could only calm down and secretly said, "The heart is calm and will naturally cool."

Zhiliao Zhiliao

The cicadas outside the window are singing like in my ears, and the more I calm my heart, the more I hear it clearly.

After enduring it for a long time, Cui Xiaowan finally couldn't stand it anymore. She turned her head to look at the head of the bed, raised her hand, and wanted to get the teacup on it... ——

Smack

In the next room, Xu Buling was lying on the pillow and sleeping soundly. He woke up in an instant when he heard the sound of the porcelain shattering. His eyes were sharp and he looked in the direction of the sound, but only the woman's weak breathing was left. ?

Xu Buling listened carefully and nothing happened. However, to be on the safe side, he got up and put on his boots, walked out of the door with his sword, came to the room next door, raised his hand and tapped:

"Miss Cui?"

The room was silent for a while before a weak sounded:

"I'm fine, I accidentally got rid of the teacup..."

Xu Buling frowned and raised his hand to push open the door. In a blink of an eye, Cui Xiaowan was lying on the bed wearing only a thin shirt. The cloth buckle on the collarbone was unbuttoned, revealing the lower half of the snow and the corners of the bellyband. Ru Yue'e's eyebrows were lightly locked, and a little sweat was hanging on her cheeks. She looked like a fish that was confused by the sun, and she didn't even have the strength to turn over.

"What are you doing in?"

Cui Xiaowan saw Xu Buling coming over, raised her hand and pulled the collar of the Luoshan shirt, but did not get up.

Xu Buling went to the teapot and cup from the table, walked up to her and sat down, poured a glass of water and handed it to her:

"The weather is too hot and the station is relatively simple, which is a bit difficult. I set off tonight and I guess I will be able to Nanyang early tomorrow morning. I will feel comfortable when I get back on the boat."

Cui Xiaowan pursed her lips, held her up and sat on the bed, took the teacup with her little hand, and took a sip.

The weather was hot and there was no blanket covered. I was wearing only a thin silk shirt, and the buttons were not buttoned. I held the teacup in my hands and lowered my head to drink water. My throat moved slightly, and the collar was dispersed a little. The light green bellyband inside was very tight, and I felt a little sweaty, which made me look more transparent. There were peach petals embroidered on it, and some bulges could be seen faintly...

Xu Buling sat sideways and glanced over. He saw that the weather was already dry and hotter now. His eyes moved, and hesitated a little when he wanted to move away.

Cui Xiaowan held the water cup, and as she drank, she glanced at Xu Buling and looked at him.

Xu Buling coughed lightly, looked around and picked up the round fan on the small table, and slapped it next to him: "It's hot, and my clothes are soaked..."

The faint coolness hit Cui Xiaowan suddenly felt much more comfortable, her scrutinized gaze softened, she put down the teacup and lay back: "For the sake of you fanning me, I won't blame you." As she said that, she took out a small mahogany sign from under the pillow and started to carve the regular characters again.

Xu Buling was used to it. Anyway, he woke up, and he didn't rush back. He raised his hand and gently waved the round fan, and smiled and said, "Don't carve it, go to bed, I'll leave when you fall asleep."

Cui Xiaowan held the carving knife intently and shook her head: "How can I sleep in front of you?"

"Why do I knock you out?" ?

Cui Xiaowan paused her hands, thought for a while, and fell asleep in: "No, aunt, I'm dizzy, you must be dishonest."

“…”

Xu Buling just joked, and saw Cui Xiaowan calling herself "aunt", she shook her head and said, "What aunt, you don't look older than me. Besides, how could I take advantage of others' danger?"

Cui Xiaowan held the small mahogany sign and whispered: "I am twenty-eight years old, the same age as Qingye's master, and the former queen... No, now the empress dowager, you originally called me aunt. By the way, my mother is now the empress dowager."

What do you care about...

Xu Buling shrugged slightly, and didn't know how to respond.

Cui Xiaowan finished carving the mahogany card and put it back under the pillow, looking sideways at Xu Buling:

"I have been in the palace for several years. The emperor's daily routine is very regular and almost unchanged. It is impossible for him to die suddenly after overwork. Did you kill the emperor?"

Xu Buling's expression froze when he heard this. The consequences of regicide were too serious. The things he did in Tai Chi Hall naturally adopted a high-pressure policy to seal it off. No matter how he wrote it in the history books, at least no one dared to say it randomly now. Naturally, he would not tell Cui Xiaowan about this.

Seeing Cui Xiaowan asking, Xu Buling knew that he could not deceive her, so he sighed: "Yes, um... this matter is more troublesome..."

Cui Xiaowan shook her head: "You don't need to explain to me. In order to seize power, there have been many cases of fathers and sons killing each other, and brothers and sisters killing each other. You and the emperor have long been dead. If you don't kill him, he will kill you. There is no way to do this. However, I cannot praise you. I used to be the queen, and my mother was the queen. If you kill the emperor and your mother..." ?!

Xu Buling staggered and raised his hand: "Miss Cui, don't talk nonsense. Xiang'er and I are in love with each other, and we are even more innocent to Miss Cui, but we have never done anything to you that people are angry or resentful."

Cui Xiaowan's expression was calm and said seriously: "I can't go anywhere else when I am here. This is definitely written in history books. What is "killing his king in Tai Chi Hall and sleeping in the dragon bed and messing with the palace at night." But my mother and I should be the victims. If you are sympathized with by future generations, you will definitely be infamous for thousands of years."

Xu Buling held it in for a long time and had nothing to say.

Cui Xiaowan Zhanyan smiled: "If a man dares to act, you don't have to worry. As long as you do more practical things for the people in the future, future generations will not worry about this little thing."

Xu Buling nodded, and naturally remembered Cui Xiaowan's pillow style.

The round fan shook gently, and the breeze was gentle.

Cui Xiaowan was already sleepy and became cooler, so she naturally felt a little sleepy. After saying a few words, she slowly closed her eyes and leaned quietly on the pillow.

Xu Buling shook the fan and looked at it for a few seconds. When the folding fan stopped, he probably woke up again. He simply sat by the bed and shook it to the setting sun... ——

I am writing the detailed outline of the tenth volume, but I haven't even sorted it out yet, and I haven't even named the volume. I guess I have to go to the water for two days...
Chapter completed!
