But everything returned to calm, Liu Cheng dressed up with the help of He Hou, and the two sat down at the table to drink tea and talk.
Liu Cheng held the child and teased it from time to time.
The little one felt that he was very strange and a little unfamiliar.
Liu Cheng held her for a while and she screamed.
Liu Cheng coaxed her for a while and finally coaxed her to stop crying.
He Hou asked: "You have been in the Western Regions for such a long time this time.
Didn't you bring us anything?"
"The place in the Western Region is rich in jade and gemstones, but they are all rough stones.
There are no top craftsmen among the local people who are good at carving jade and gemstones.
However, I brought some of each kind back and put them together with the military logistics.
However, But a special person reported that I will bring some to you someday.
You can find a craftsman to make jewelry yourself.
Make some for yourself and your children, especially children.
I heard that wearing jade is good for the body."
Liu Cheng thought of something as he spoke.
He took out a small wooden box from his arms and handed it to He Hou and said, "This was given to me by Modi Nanga, the envoy of the Great Yuezhi Kingdom.
There is a huge diamond in it, so Large and pure blue diamonds are extremely rare.
According to its size and fineness, if it is the best choice to make it into a necklace, you can find a skilled craftsman to pair it with a gold chain."
He then took it and opened it, and was immediately attracted by the blue diamond.
Liu Cheng looked at her and said, "It's just this one.
I didn't give it to anyone, just you.
Don't let the three of them know, or you'll have to make a big fuss with me."
He looked happy, hugged Liu Cheng, kissed her hard several times, and said, "I know you love me the most, don't worry, I won't let them know."
Liu Cheng stayed here until late at night before returning to Sikong Mansion.
Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Cai Yan had been waiting in the main hall of the backyard for a long time, yawning all day long, and the three children, who were only a few months old, had already fallen asleep.
Liu Cheng returned to Sikong Mansion and immediately took off his armor, put on regular clothes and came to the main hall.
As soon as the three girls saw him coming back, they all complained.
Xiao Qiao pouted and said, "Why did you come back?
Did you go to that goblin?"
Liu Cheng immediately said with a dark face: "How do you speak?
Can you have some moral integrity?
If someone calls you a goblin and you hear it, how will you feel in your heart?
Well, am I not back?
The conscience of heaven and earth , the banquet in the palace ended only after Shen Shen, and then His Majesty forced me to tell him about the Western Regions.
Do you think I can leave at will?"
Xiao Qiao pouted and stopped talking.
She obviously knew that she had overreacted and felt a little unjust.
She said, "I'll ask someone to prepare hot water for you to take a bath."
Liu Cheng felt quite guilty when he saw her leaving.
He turned to Da Qiao and Cai Yan and asked, "Are you all okay these past six months?
Are the children okay?"
Da Qiao smiled and said: "We are all doing well.
We are just worried that you will not be able to eat well and sleep well while you are fighting outside, and you will also worry about your shortcomings on the battlefield.
The children are also doing well.
Well, Xiao Qiao is actually She misses you the most and talks about you in front of us every day.

Don’t be angry with her."
Cai Yan also said: "Yes, Xiao Qiao has this temperament.
Even after becoming a mother, she will still be like this.
In fact, I think it's pretty good."
Liu Cheng sat down and shook his head and said: "How could I be angry with her?
Her thoughts are simple and she can't hide her words.
How could I not know?
Zhaoji, what is my father-in-law doing recently?
Is he with a gang again?
The old guys got together and yelled at me I remember that when I married you, he had already hung the ropes on the rafters, shouting that if I really dared to marry you, he would put a rope around his neck.
This old man Man, he can really do it."
Cai Yan said coquettishly: "You still remember this?
Isn't he angry that the way you married me is dishonorable?
In the past few months, I heard that he was collecting and sorting out palace classics with several great scholars.
There are many classics and classics.
It was lost and damaged in the war, and they are trying to collect it Transcript, hoping to restore some of the time when you conquered Xiqiang at the end of last year.
You were very happy for a few days and asked my brother to accompany him to have a drink.
The news of your deeds in the Western Regions was reported back to the court the other day.
I even wrote a poem specifically for this matter."
"Oh, then I'll have to ask him for that piece of poetry another day to see if he scolded me in the piece."
Cai Yan said: "You, my father is old and his temper will inevitably be like that of a child.
Why are you trying to compete with him?"
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, no, I have absolutely no intention of competing with my father-in-law.
I just think he is quite fun.
If I don't play with him, wouldn't he be bored?"
At night, Liu Cheng forcibly pulled the three girls together and slept together, enjoying the blessing of being together, making the three girls so shy that they didn't want to mention their respective interests for the time being.
Early the next morning, Liu Cheng had someone prepare some small gifts and planned to accompany Cai Yan to visit his father-in-law, Cai Yong.
Just as he was about to go out, his disciples came to report Xun Yu's visit.
Liu Cheng knew that Xun Yu was here to report to him the situation of the imperial court and the Guandong princes in the past six months, so he went to the front hall of Sikong Mansion with Cai Yan.
"Wen Ruo, why are you up so early?"
Liu Cheng and Cai Yan approached the front hall to greet Xun Yu.
"Meet my lord" Xun Yu bowed with his hands in hand.
Liu Cheng stepped forward to support him and said: "There is no need to be so polite between you and me.
You came so early for something."
Xun Yu said, "My lord has been absent from the court for such a long time.
I feel that I should report to my lord the affairs of the court and the movements of the Guandong princes in the past six months, so that my lord can understand the latest situation as soon as possible.
It seems that my lord is going to do this."
Go out" Liu Cheng took Xun Yu and said, "I'm going to see my father-in-law, lest he accuse me of not knowing etiquette again.
Let's talk as we walk, I'll take your car."
"This is not good, it seems to disturb the Xian couple."
Xun Yu hesitated.
Cai Yan was very open-minded and generous, and took the initiative to say: "Mr.
It’s okay for Zhao Ji” Xun Yu cupped his hands and bowed to Cai Yan, saying: "Madam understands righteousness, Xun Yu admires her very much."
So Liu Cheng and Xun Yu rode in the same car in front, and Cai Yan followed slowly in a separate car.
The carriage moved very slowly, still shaking a little.

Xun Yu raised his hands and said to Liu Cheng: "Before the end of last year, because the imperial court deliberately blocked the news, all parts of the world did not know that the lord had led his army to Xiliang to conquer Han Sui and Ma Teng, and also conquered the Xiqiang.
Therefore, the princes of Guandong restrained themselves.
Dare to make big moves, until the beginning of this year, the news spread that the lord was in Xiqiang After that, the princes of Guandong no longer had any scruples, and then they launched a big move.
First, the fight between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan was made public.
Liu Yu gathered a supposedly 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zan, but the news was leaked because it was not confidential.
Someone leaked the plan to Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan used his plan to defeat Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was captured and executed alive.
Gongsun Zan wrote to the court saying that Liu Yu and Yuan Shao were trying to establish a new king and were suspected of treason.
He also sent people to send Liu Yu's head to the capital, but it was kidnapped and buried by his old troops on the way.
Occupied Youzhou, but Liu Yu's son Liu He was defeated by his old subordinates Xian Yufu and Qi Zhou , Xian Yuyin, and Yan Rou led their troops to retreat to the Wuwanqiaowang tribe.
Yuan Shao of Jizhou was worried that Gongsun Zan's rising power would threaten him after annexing Youzhou, so he immediately led his army north to attack Gongsun Zan with Qu Yi as general.
Both sides In the battle at Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan was defeated and had to withdraw his defense line to the north."
"In March of this year, Yuan Shao sent General Gao Lan and an army of 50,000 to attack Bingzhou.
General Zhao Yun led an army to resist and defend the pass.
Yuan's army was unable to advance for more than two months.
Xu Shu and Han Hao gathered troops and horses in Hanoi to stage a feint attack. , Yuan Shaocai was forced to order Gao Lan to lead his army back."
Liu Cheng frowned and said, "Yuan Shao sent troops to attack Bingzhou without even making an excuse."
"No" "You are so brave.
The other princes have to find a good excuse no matter who they attack, but he, Yuan Shao, doesn't even bother to find an excuse to attack the prefectures and counties directly under the imperial government."
Liu Cheng couldn't hide his anger.
This Yuan Shao is really annoying.
Yeah, that's too arrogant.
Xun Yu advised: "Lord, please calm down.
Getting angry can't solve the problem.
Let's not talk about Yuan Shao for now.
Just five days ago, the court received news that Zhu Jun, the governor of Yanzhou, died, and his 20,000 soldiers and horses were captured by Cao Cao."
Liu Cheng was shocked and immediately asked: "How did Zhu Jun die?"
Xun Yu shook his head and said: "The governor of Yanzhou reported that he died suddenly, but the real cause of death is unknown.
However, one thing is certain, Cao Cao took Zhu Jun's 20,000 troops without any effort."
Liu Cheng was so shocked by the news that he remained silent for a while.
He originally thought that he could use Zhu Jun to suppress Cao Cao and limit Cao Cao's development in the next few years.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jun could not suppress Cao Cao at all and was swallowed up by Cao Cao.
Twenty thousand tribesmen.
Liu Cheng shook his head and sneered: "The idea of a sudden death is just to fool people.
Who benefited the most after Zhu Jun's death was Cao Cao, so Zhu Jun's death is definitely related to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took away Zhu Jun's twenty thousand without any effort.
The men and horses have obviously infiltrated Zhu Jun's men a long time ago.
I am afraid that most of the generals in the army have been bribed by him.
Cao Cao can only succeed in using this conspiracy method to deal with Zhu Jun.
He is not Zhu Jun in a head-on fight. opponent" Xun Yu nodded and agreed with Liu Cheng's view: "Yes, no matter what, Zhu Jun was once Cao Cao's boss.
It is impossible for him to start a war with Zhu Jun regardless of his reputation.
And even if he really went to war with Zhu Jun, he would not necessarily He is Zhu Jun’s opponent.
After all, General Zhu is one of the most famous generals in the world."
Liu Cheng was quite sorry for Zhu Jun's death, but since everyone died, he could only sigh.
Next, he had to consider the impact this matter would have on the overall situation of the world and how to deal with it.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and had no clue, so he decided to put it aside for the time being and continued to ask: "What about Liu Bei?
What has he been doing in Jiyin County for the past six months?"
