Chapter 863 Chapter 863 Longnan City is weird
I already understand in my heart.?
no.
He quietly left the room alone last night and went outside, not to meet Huo Liancheng.
In other words, Tu Shuhan said whether he was going to explore something in Longnan City. This sentence may not be wrong, he may really have other purposes.
Thinking of this, I looked at him again, and he seemed to feel the infinite speculation and suspicion in my heart, but he just closed his eyes lightly. At this time, we had already walked to the corridor on the second floor.
That night, he and I were knocked out.
As soon as I got here, I immediately felt his breathing heavy.
At this time, dusk was already falling outside, and the originally gray Longnan City became more and more dim. Standing on the high place, you saw red lanterns hanging outside the houses far and near, swaying in the wind, swaying with the hazy red glow in the dust.
The originally simple earthen city seemed surprisingly beautiful at this moment.
Tu Shuhan's "General's Mansion" should be built in the city. The walls on both sides are stretched across several miles, towering and majestic, dividing the entire Longnan City into two halves. When I went downstairs, I subconsciously looked out the other side of the city tower, which was the window where Liu Qinghan and I had stayed before.
The other half of Longnan City was immediately visible.
After seeing it, I stopped.
The side I saw before was full of residential buildings, and lanterns of all sizes were lit in the twilight. Although it was hazy, it seemed very lively. However, the other half of Longnan City, which was seen from this window, was silent, without even a single light or fireworks. Under the twilight, only the outline of the hazy house was seen, and one or two figures appeared occasionally, and they flashed by.
What a desolate half city.
But - it's a little too desolate.
My heart skipped a beat, and suddenly I seemed to realize something, and then looked out the window intently.
Indeed, this half of the city has almost no life, and it looks like a static picture, a void earth city.
When I came here yesterday, I seemed to have seen such a desolate scene. But I didn’t realize yesterday that it was clearly the same Longnan City, just separated by a dirt building in the middle, why are the half city on the east and west sides so different? The half city on the east side gives people the feeling of being empty and empty!
This is not right!
I subconsciously looked at Liu Qinghan behind me - Is this the reason why he came out alone last night and "visited" Longnan City at night?
Liu Qinghan seemed to not feel my gaze at all, but just stopped and looked out the window with a deep look. The desolate half of the city that flashed by added a bit of haze to his eyes.
But before we had any time, the servants around us had already urged: "Two, please."
I looked at Liu Qinghan with a complicated expression, and he also looked at me. I thought that at this moment, he and I must have thought of something, and at this moment, Tu Shuhan's voice came from behind me.
"The two are leaving."
We were stunned for a moment, and at the same time, we turned around and saw Tu Shuhan slowly walking out of the corridor. Following him was Huo Liancheng, and several other strange officials, who should be his military officers and staff in Longnan City.
Obviously, they came to "show off".
Liu Qinghan was originally standing behind me, but suddenly walked forward and smiled and said, "Have the General changed his mind?"
Tu Shuhan had no expression on his face, and he just smiled: "It seems that Lord Liu has been concerned about this matter."
"It's important to be a big deal, and I must not help but worry."
"It's a pity that Lord Liu is going to disappoint this time. I am here to send him off and Miss Yan."
"oh?"
Liu Qinghan raised his eyebrows and looked back at me again. Tu Shuhan had already brought the people over and stretched out his hand: "Please, please, two."
Liu Qinghan and I finally had no excuses to stay and left.
But there is something in my heart that I know better.
There is something strange in Longnan City.
Tu Shuhan came to see us off, it was not as simple as we were welcome.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered what the second brother of the Zhao family mentioned to me when he was in Jixiang Village. He once said that Tu Shuhan, a general, was very good at fighting, and was more ruthless than the generals he had followed before.
However, he also said that Tu Shuhan is a bit "sneaky" in doing things.
When I came to Longnan City to confront Tu Shuhan, I could feel that this beard was indeed not simple. As a border guard, he was meticulous and scheming, which was a natural and necessary condition, but these were not enough to say "sneaky".
But that half-miraculous Longnan City...
Could it be that this is what the second brother of the Zhao family said - sneaky?
Is he really managing what he is doing in that half of Longnan City?
I realized that Liu Qinghan should have seen something wrong yesterday, especially in the bathroom, he asked me to take a bath first, and went to the window to see the scenery, but his performance was always strange. I still remember that he knocked on a wall and asked me which direction the city was. Now I think about it, he should have seen some strange things in the east of the city from outside the window, and then he went out secretly in the middle of the night. As Tu Shuhan joked, he was trying to explore something in Longnan City.
As for why he has been reluctant to tell me the truth, it is easy to understand. After all, this place is the territory of the court, and my identity is the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and they are the target of their focus on preventing it. Although Liu Qinghan speculated that Tu Shuhan had a problem, it was a matter within their court after all. I am their foreign enemy, and even if there is a problem, I cannot let me know.
As I walked, I thought, but I could not think of it. After a while, we had already walked to the gate and someone led our horses over. Liu Qinghan and I were about to say goodbye, but we saw Tu Shuhan also got on a horse and said with a smile: "I will send you two out of the city."
Liu Qinghan smiled and said, "This is too troublesome to the general."
"No trouble, please."
He raised his hand and pointed to the straight road leading to the city gate. Liu Qinghan and I both held the reins in hand and looked at Huo Liancheng who was standing behind. He was quiet along the way, without saying much, but his expression was as solemn as ever.
Liu Qinghan thought about it and bowed to him: "Brother Huo, come back."
Huo Liancheng also raised his hand and saluted: "Mr. Liu, be careful all the way."
After saying that, we turned our horses and rode our horses toward the city gate with him. Along the way, we saw the gates of the houses closing one after another, and teams of soldiers also began to line up and patrol the city.
A curfew drum sounded.
As soon as I heard the drum sound, my heart skipped a beat.
The time limit for my appointment with Yuan Xiu has arrived!
At this moment, we had already rode our horses to the city gate, and I could see at a glance that outside the open city gate, a group of people were heading towards this side on the gray ground.
It’s Pei Yuanxiu and the others!
Oh no!
When he turned his head, Tu Shuhan walked out slowly while riding his horse, but he was thinking about something. His thick eyebrows were frowned, and deep gullies formed between his eyebrows.
He seemed to be hesitating about something.
My heart suddenly moved. When I looked up at Liu Qinghan, a light flashed in his eyes.
We almost all realized one thing-this thing, maybe there is room for this matter.
Based on the previous meeting with Tu Shuhan and the atmosphere of negotiations at the banquet, I believe Tu Shuhan is inclined to send troops, but after discussing with his military staff, he got the result of "not sending troops". I believe that Huo Liancheng and others must have used many methods to convince him, but we forgot one thing.
After all, Tu Shuhan is willing to do this!
If we can take the opportunity to give him some motivation...
But——I looked out of the city with the corner of my eyes, and the familiar figure was getting closer and closer!
What if, what if Yiyuan comes in and meets these people here-!
I felt a chill in my heart and almost didn't dare to think further. At this moment, Tu Shuhan suddenly seemed to feel something and raised his head-
"General."
My heart was about to reach my throat. At this time, Liu Qinghan, who was walking beside me, suddenly spoke. Tu Shuhan immediately turned his head to look at him. Liu Qinghan said, "I hope the general will think twice about what he said before. Don't miss the opportunity."
Tu Shuhan's brows frowned deeply.
However, he still did not let go, and as if he was unwilling to talk more, he said lightly: "Mr. Liu doesn't need to say anything more."
He turned around while saying that.
I hurriedly said, "General."
He frowned slightly, turned his head to look at me, "Is there anything else for Miss Yan?"
Although he was talking to me, there was a clear hint of vigilance and sharpness in his eyes, and he looked outside the city gate again.
The soldiers had the perception of a beast, and Tu Shuhan's sharpness was more like a sword that had been sharpened by war and was unsheathed. Around us were fully armed soldiers guarding the city. Although I don't know how many soldiers he stationed in Longnan City, there were not less than a hundred people here. If you want to do anything, it would be easy!
If he sees Yuan Xiu—
I felt nervous and suddenly said, "General, what do you think this is?"
This was said without a trace, Tu Shuhan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and frowned slightly at me.
At this moment, I could almost hear the sound of horse hooves from far and near. Seeing Tu Shuhan turning his head to look outside the city gate, he hurriedly took out a small box from his sleeve, which was the gift that Tang Ting had entrusted to Anyang Eighteen Cavalry to me and presented it to Tu Shuhan.
His brows frowned even more, and he glanced at me, as if asking, "What are you showing me about this box?"
