Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1062 The Lost Brocade

As an emperor, looking at all the power holders in the Han Dynasty, it is estimated that there are very few people like Liu Xie. Even Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, fled in a panic during those few times of chasing and intercepting, and he was better than Liu Xie not knowing. At least Liu Bang was fleeing for his life, but he had a group of brothers and his men desperately guarding him, but Liu Xie couldn't even bring a few more attendants.

  The sky gradually dimmed, just like this empire.

Liu Xie sat blankly in the hall, looking at everything in front of him, or because of the sky, or because of some other reasons, the surrounding area gradually became blurred, and the colors gradually peeled off, and it seemed that only the It was gray and black.

  This world is familiar to Liu Xie, because walking around is the same place.

  The lower wooden plank of the first pillar at the entrance of the main hall is very loose. You can’t step on the side close to the pillar, otherwise the whole plank will warp...

  The hinge of the third window lintel on the left is a bit rotten and cannot be opened. It was originally planned to call someone to repair it, but there was no chance...

   But this world is also strange, because Liu Xie has never had a chance to go far.

  Even from Luoyang to Chang'an, most of the time is spent in the carriage. Between the sky and the earth, there are always guards and courtiers who don't know what they are thinking...

  Will it be different this time?

  Liu Xie is like an ordinary teenager, yearning but afraid.

  No one can give him advice, and no one can give him advice. Everything needs to be judged and decided by Liu Xie himself.

   Now, Liu Xie doesn't know whether his decision is correct or wrong.

   "...Your Majesty, the queen is here..." the close-fitting Xiao Huangmen reported in a low voice outside the hall.

   "Your Majesty..." Fu Shou walked in under the guidance of the little yellow gate.

  Liu Xie took two steps forward, suddenly froze for a moment, and said, "...Here, you, why are you still carrying this? Do you know..."

  Fu Shou bowed slightly to Liu Xie, then revealed the roll of brocade in his arms, and said in a low voice, "This...it was given to me by His Majesty when I was in Luoyang..."

   "..." Liu Xie was silent.

  When Fushou said this, Liu Xie also remembered. When a group of people including Fu Shou had just entered the palace, Liu Xie summoned them, and only a few people were left behind, including Fu Shou. What was sent away was a reward of some gold and silver, and what was left was a reward of this section of brocade and silk tribute from the middle of Shu. I never thought that Fushou had been preserved until now.

   "...you... take it if you want..." Liu Xie turned his head away, his voice slightly hoarse.

  Fu Shou smiled slightly, and then hugged the brocade in his arms even tighter.

   "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

  Cong Shao’s low voice came from outside the main hall.

  Under the swaying of the torch, Zhong Shao's shadow danced in the hall, like an old tree desperately swaying its bare branches, or like a capricious beast roaring at the sky.

   "...It's time, Your Majesty, hurry up and come with the old minister... Ah, the queen is here, that's the best... Hurry up and come with the old minister..." Zhong Shao bowed to Liu Xie, and said in a hurry.

   "...Uh, okay..." Liu Xie nodded, and was about to walk out of the hall, and within two steps, he felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone, and when he looked back, it was Fushou.

  In the night, under the light of the torch, Fu Shou's eyes were crystal clear, like a frightened deer, looking so panicked and helpless.

   Liu Xie lowered his head, not daring to look any further. Because he also saw himself in Fushou's eyes, saw his own eyes, a look that was also somewhat flustered.

   "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

  Chong Shao walked to the entrance of the main hall, and seeing Liu Xie was still behind, he couldn't help urging him again.

   "...Follow me...I...I will be in front of you..." Liu Xie didn't break Fushou's hand that was pulling at the hem of his clothes, but just walked forward with Fushou.

   "...Your Majesty..." Xiao Huangmen knelt down beside the palace gate, and buried her head deeply on the ground.

"...you wait here for me..." Liu Xie paused beside the little yellow gate, he wanted to take the little yellow gate with him all the time, but Liu Xie could not help but decide this matter, "...I, I will come back of…"

   "Yes...Your Majesty..." Xiao Huangmen's body trembled, and his voice trembled.

  The palace is still under Zhong Shao's control, because the group arrived at the southern section of Changle Palace, near Fu'an Gate, without any hindrance.

   A group of people were waiting for orders in front of the palace gate. Under the light of several flickering torches, the scales on the armor shone with faint brilliance.

   "Your Majesty is here! Mr. Zhong is here!"

   As the tinkling armor scales collided, the soldiers who had been on standby for a long time hurriedly bowed down to salute.

   "Where's your majesty's armor?! Don't hurry to put it on your majesty!" Zhong Shao suddenly realized that Liu Xie was still wearing his usual clothes, and he didn't have any protective ability at all, so he couldn't help frowning and shouting.

   This black-and-white breakout will definitely be fully protected, but what if the arrow is shot?

   "... Your Majesty... Your Majesty, there is no armor..." The **** who served beside Liu Xie said with his head down.

When I was in Luoyang, I was still young, and no one would ask Liu Xie to go into battle to kill the enemy, nor did I hold any school inspection ceremony, and after I came to Chang'an, almost everyone Swinging back and forth like a revolving lantern, who cares about adding some clothes and daily expenses to Liu Xie who is growing up?

  So Liu Xie didn't have his own armor at all.

   "...This..." Zhong Shao couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhong Jie, frowned and said, "...Jie, take off your armor quickly and put it on for Your Majesty!"

   "Huh?" Zhong Jie didn't react for a while.

Chong Shao said angrily: "Hurry up! Come here, help Your Majesty change!" His Majesty has no armor, so it would be too casual and disrespectful to just take the armor of a soldier on one side, so it can only be done in kind. Yes, of course it is also possible to take off your own clothes, but Zhong Shao has never thought about this.

  Everyone hurried forward, took off Zhong Jie's armor, then put it on Liu Xie in a hurry, and tied the silk sash of the armor for Liu Xie in a hurry.

   "Ah, the seed...the queen also needs armor..." Liu Xie said when he saw the thin Fushou beside him.

   "Uh... Queen..." Zhong Shao suddenly felt that the blood vessels on the top of his head seemed to be throbbing twice.

   "No no... I don't need it... Your Majesty just needs it..." Fu Shou shook his head and said softly.

"Hoo...the queen really understands righteousness, the old minister will definitely protect your majesty and the queen well..." Zhong Shao bowed his hands and saluted, and then ordered the left and right, "...you are not allowed to leave your majesty for half a step! If there is any mistake, please come and see me! "

   "Wei!" All the soldiers took orders in unison.

Chong Shao nodded, and then said to Liu Xie: "These are the adopted sons of veterans, and they are the most loyal. You can rest assured..." The so-called adopted sons are also private soldiers, but they are better than private soldiers Some, after all, nutrition and training are still stronger.

  Liu Xie nodded, but he was still not very confident.

   "Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Zhong..." A soldier came forward to report and said, "A signal has been sent outside the door..."

   With a wave of his hand, Zhong Shao led everyone to the palace gate.

   "...Your Majesty, there is no need to worry, outside Fu'an's gate..." Zhong Shao walked beside Liu Xie and said, "...I am an old acquaintance..."

   Outside the gate of Fu'an, a line of soldiers was waiting quietly.

   At the forefront of the pawns, standing is a captain, looking up.

   This Duwei's surname is Hu, and his first name is Xia. He is from Wuling County, and he can indeed be regarded as an old acquaintance of Chong Shao. Back then, Hu Xia had a confrontation with the local Haoyou in Wuling because he was prone to fighting injustice. As a result, the local Haoyou couldn't take care of himself, so he had to escape under his name and moved to Kansai.

  However, in the Han Dynasty, without an official asylum, it was a very troublesome thing after all. Soon after, Hu Xia was arrested because he had no place to serve, and was sent to the northwest border...

   It was at that time that Hu Xia and Zhong Shao met. With Zhong Shao's intentional or unintentional support, Hu Xia's military achievements were finally able to fall on his own head, and it was because of this that he accumulated military achievements and was promoted all the way back to Chang'an.

This level of relationship, Zhong Shao has not always been on the bright side, so many people think that Hu Xia and Zhong Shao are not very familiar. Even if Chong Shao was given such an excellent opportunity.

  The heavy palace gate of Fu'an Gate creaked and opened a crack in the night, and then under the light of the torch, a kind of face was revealed.

   "Mr. Zhong..." Hu Xia stepped forward to greet him, and bowed his hands in salute. It's not that Hu Xia doesn't understand the conflict between Yang Biao and Zhong Shao, nor does he not know what kind of results his actions will bring, but the kindness he owes Zhong Shao must be repaid no matter what.

   "Captain Hu, I'm sorry..." Seeing Hu Xia, Zhong Shao took a step to the side and said, "...but are you ready?"

"Mr. Zhong, the surrounding soldiers are not suspicious at all, and there is no abnormal dispatch... I brought my brother who has been with me for many years..." Hu Xia said, "...but that's it, this horse... Mr. Zhong, raised temporarily, I can only gather more than forty horses..."

   Zhong Shao sighed, and said: "This... well, it's hard for you... It's okay, it's hard to mobilize the horses, and it's expected... Come, this is Your Majesty, why don't you hurry up and salute..."

  Chong Shao turned his head and introduced to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, this man's surname is Hu and his name is Xia. He is a loyal and brave man. He also made military exploits many times during the Pingqiang period in Xiliang..."

   "See Your Majesty!" Hu Xia hurried forward and fell to the ground, and the soldiers behind him also half-kneeled to salute Liu Xie.

   "Peace, let's all be flat..." Liu Xie said nervously.

  The voice has not yet fallen, maybe there are too many fire lights here that have attracted the attention of other places, or maybe the night cruisers have noticed something unusual, and suddenly someone shouted loudly in the night, asking about the situation here.

   "Quick! Quick! Get on the horse!" Chong Shao didn't have time to say anything more, so he quickly pushed and pulled Liu Xie to get him on the horse.

   "Captain Hu, I will leave this place to you!" Chong Shao shouted, "... your wife, the old man will send someone to pick her up in Pingyang later, she will definitely treat her as her own! You can rest assured!"

  Hu Xia took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir! Come here, prepare to fight, and **** Your Majesty!"

   It is not difficult to leave the palace gate, but the road ahead is not easy. The horses are limited, which means that nearly half of the personnel do not have horses, that is, they have to walk...

  Emperor Liu Xie naturally needs a horse, and it must be a good horse, among the guards of Tuantuan, but other people may not have such conditions

   Even the Queen.

   Or in other words, the queen who has not been announced to the Taimiao, officially conferred.

   Several people followed Chong Shao to protect Liu Xie and got on the horse, but Fu Shou was squeezed by other people and fell behind.

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Fu Shou cried out in a panic, but her voice was buried in the noise of people and horses, and she couldn't attract the attention of others at all.

   Liu Xie turned his head in a panic, but saw Fu Shou stumbling among the crowd, almost being squeezed and fell to the ground.

   "Queen! Take... take the queen!" Liu Xie turned around, pointed at Fushou among the crowd, and shouted loudly.

  Cong Shao was next to Liu Xie, so he naturally heard Liu Xie's cry. Seeing this, he sighed, pulled Zhong Ji, and shouted loudly: "Did you hear your majesty's order? Take it! Take the queen!"

   Zhong Jie cursed secretly, but couldn't get angry, he could only turn the horse's head, and then rushed back, shouting loudly: "Queen! Where is the queen?"

  Fu Shou stumbled and squeezed out from the crowd, still holding the brocade tightly in his arms.

   "Hurry up, come here!" Seeing Fushou, Zhong Shao didn't care about the etiquette, and quickly pointed with his finger, and shouted, "Take her!"

   Two or three guards rushed over, grabbed Fu Shou and pulled him forward. During the tugging, Fushou couldn't hold the brocade in his arms anymore, and fell to the ground...

   "Ah..." Fu Shou hurriedly turned his head, but under the swaying figure, where can he see any traces of brocade?

   Pulling Fushou's guards to keep up with the large army and escape for their lives, how can they listen to Fushou's chanting? What's more, even if you understand it, who would pay attention to a woman's words at this moment?

"Jinbo..." Fushou didn't cry when he learned that he was going to escape from Chang'an, to the unknown; when he was separated from Liu Xie and scattered by the crowd, Fushou still didn't cry; , Fushou's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, "... Your Majesty's brocade..."

When the chaotic crowd passed by, the sound of people shouting and neighing gradually faded away. Under the moonlight and starlight, I could vaguely see a bit of soft brilliance unique to silk on the ground, but now this section of once gorgeous and colorful brocade is now gone. Already mixed with the dirt, broken, wrinkled, dirty...
