Chapter 2267 A Douyue
Hanoi, Huoka.
Liu Bei sat on the huge rock by the roadside, squinting his eyes, looking confused and his eyes dull.
A team of soldiers were wearing armor and carrying spears and halberds, hurried along the official road. Everyone looked nervous and ready to fight at any time. Although they left Jizhou, they were not safe. Black bandits might appear on the north side, Jiangdong naval forces might appear on the south side, pursuers might appear behind, and even blockages might appear in front, and there would be no way to go.
Everything is possible, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, and whether they can see tomorrow.
The same is true for Liu Bei. Or rather, he is the most desperate one. He has been working for more than ten years and finally won the king. He is about to take over the entire Jizhou again, and his future is bright, but why is there suddenly nothing left?
"Tu tuk...tuk..." The rapid sound of horse hooves became closer and closer, awakening Liu Bei. Liu Bei suddenly slammed and stood up suddenly. With a "clang", the sword was unsheathed.
"Big... King." The knight who had just turned over and dismounted was startled and quickly knelt on the ground with one leg, not daring to move.
Liu Bei took a few breaths and calmed down. Seeing the knight kneeling down the slope, he cursed in anger: "What's the matter, so panic?"
"King, the queen is chasing you."
"who?"
"Mao...Mr. Mao."
Liu Bei's cheeks twitched twice, his face turning greener than the long sword Qingyun in his hand. After a while, he let out a light breath, sat back and placed the long sword across his legs.
"Let her come."
The knight dared not say much, got up, turned his horse, and left as if he was running away. Liu Bei looked at his back, spitted, and thought for a while, and called a guard to invite Feng Ji. Feng Ji was not far behind, and it came very quickly. The carriage stopped on the side of the road. Feng Ji got out of the car, looked at Liu Bei who was sitting on the huge rock, sighed, picked up the hem of his clothes, and climbed up step by step. He had worked hard these days, and he was panting and sweating all over the hillside.
"Thank you for your hard work." Liu Bei stood up, holding a sword in one hand and supporting Feng Ji with the other. Feng Ji waved his hand and held a mixed tree beside him, panting. He didn't dare to get too close to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was in a state of unstable mood these days, so don't stab him with one sword.
"What are the kings... orders?"
"The queen is chasing her."
"Queen?" Feng Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Calculate the day, the queen should be about to give birth, right? If she could give birth to a boy, the king would have a queen."
Liu Bei turned his face aside. "Don't you find it strange to meet each other? Lu Nu fell, she should have become a prisoner, how could she..."
Feng Ji also reacted. At this time, he had already breathed a little, stroked his beard, and pondered for a moment. "No matter what, the reunion of the king and the queen is a good thing. As for the reason, when the king asks later, he will understand it. Alas..." Feng Ji sighed softly. "I am incompetent, I am ashamed of the king and the queen."
Liu Bei didn't say anything, and Feng Ji couldn't leave directly, so he could only stand. After a while, Liu Bei felt that standing like this was inappropriate. He coughed and asked, "Feng Xiang, how many days has Sima Yi been there? Can the court agree to our request?"
Feng Ji Qiang was calm. "The king doesn't have to worry. The situation is critical. The court is working on people and will not sit idly by."
"I feel it's difficult. The late emperor has been dead for more than half a year, and the new emperor has not ascended the throne yet. What do the ministers in Chang'an want? The Wu thieves are in great power, and I'm afraid that many people have already met Wu thieves. Hey, by the way, what have the Shu King's envoy Fa been doing in Chang'an for so long?"
Feng Ji was speechless. He knew very little about Chang'an. Liu Bei had limited talents and fewer channels for collecting intelligence. Chang'an could provide information to Liu Bei. Even after Zhao Yun arrived in Chang'an, there were fewer news. He worked day and night for Jizhou, so he had no energy to pay attention to Chang'an.
Who would have thought that he would ask the Chang'an court for help so soon?
Liu Bei regretted it a little, but was too anxious, which made Feng Ji feel embarrassed. He was silent for a while and saw several carriages coming from afar. It was probably Queen Mao who arrived, and his face looked even more ugly. He wanted to find a topic to talk about, but he couldn't find a suitable one.
Queen Mao's carriage was blocked by Feng Ji's carriage and could not move forward. The coachman recognized it as Feng Ji's carriage and did not dare to be arrogant. After a while, Queen Mao got out of the carriage and walked towards this side. There were several maids following her, one of whom was a nanny holding a cradle in her arms. Liu Bei saw it clearly and became more disgusted, but he couldn't say anything, so he stood still.
Queen Mao Qian stood on the side of the road, raised her head, looked at it, and screamed: "Master, even if I am despicable and cannot bear to be the Queen of Zhongshan, don't the king want to see your flesh and blood?"
Liu Bei stood still, motionless, turning a deaf ear. Mao Qian became even more angry, his face turned pale, he snatched the swagger from the nanny's arms and raised it high. "Since the king is so heartless, then my mother and son have no face to stand in the world, so he simply died in front of the king, so as not to drag down the king." As he said that, he smashed the swagger.
"Queen, no." The women around Mao Qian screamed in fear and went forward one after another, trying to take off the child. Mao Qian just screamed and struggled hard. After a few strokes, the hairpin fell off, and the hairpin was messed up. With his twisted expression, Mao Qian looked even more disgusting. Liu Bei was so angry that he strode down and shouted sternly: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"
Mao was startled and looked at the sword in Liu Bei's hand. He immediately became honest and relieved. A maid hugged her and checked the child, but found that the child was sleeping soundly and was not awake. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed out loud.
Liu Bei also found it strange. What kind of child is so noisy and doesn't cry? He leaned over and looked at the child, and saw that the child had a chubby face, a pair of thick eyebrows, big eyes, big nose, and big mouth, which looked a bit majestic. Feng Ji also came over, took a look, and suddenly said, "Master, the prince is so lucky."
Liu Bei turned his head to look at Feng Ji, and felt it was reasonable. When he was a child, he heard from his mother that when he was born, he had big eyes, big nose, big mouth, and everything. Similarly, after becoming the king of Zhongshan, he also heard the old people in the clan mention it repeatedly, saying that this is the appearance of a king, and he was destined to be the king when he was born. Judging from his appearance, this child is like his flesh and blood. He really wanted to ask what happened to Mao, but in front of so many people, he couldn't speak.
"This child..." Liu Bei pointed at the child and stared at Mao Qian. Mao Xi didn't understand what Liu Bei meant. Seeing his fierce eyes, he became more and more guilty. Liu Bei was anxious and had to say, "Has this child ever named him?"
"Start up...I'm called Adou."
"A Dou?"
"I... I had a dream before I gave birth to him. I dreamed that Beidou was in my arms, and then my stomach started to hurt. After giving birth to him, I called him Adou."
"Beidou Star?" Liu Bei turned his head to look at Feng Ji, skeptical. Feng Ji was happy, grabbed Liu Bei's arm, and said repeatedly: "King, Bei Di is the place where the Emperor Star is. Bei Di is in his arms, this is a good omen."
Liu Bei was not as excited as Feng Ji, but he was also a little moved. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "This child is strong, but that's all, and it's no different from other children..."
"Who said there is no difference?" Mao Qian suddenly reacted and said quickly, "He is like the king, with very big ears and very long arms." While speaking, he went to unscramble and hugged the child out of the scramble. After a while, Liu Bei looked carefully and was surprised and happy. The child had a pair of arms that looked awkward, which was at least one palm longer than a normal arm. He curled up in Mao Qian's arms, and his arms could wrap around his entire body.
"This... this is my child." Liu Bei suddenly screamed, threw the sword, snatched the child from Mao Qian's hand, and raised it high. The child was raised, and his arms were more awake, and he did grow much longer than an ordinary child. Liu Bei was overjoyed, and he suddenly realized that he had been deceived by those doctors, and what hurt the kidneys and could not give birth was all lies. Mao Qian might not be a wife, but this child was definitely his species.
This pair of arms is evidence.
In an instant, Liu Bei almost burst into tears. The shame that had been in his heart suddenly disappeared, and even the shadow of the defeated country disappeared temporarily. He laughed loudly. As soon as he laughed twice, a hot stream shot towards him, pouring on Liu Bei's face, and many of them splashed directly into Liu Bei's mouth.
"Wow" The child who was raised high by Liu Bei cried loudly, and the crying sounded loudly, like a golden drum.
"I..." Liu Bei closed his eyes and wanted to curse, but when he heard the loud cry of the child, he couldn't help laughing. "This guy gave me a big gift for the first time when I met. The boy peed, which was very nourishing. Well, this is like my Liu Bei's son. He doesn't care about his princes, and he peed if he doesn't accept it."
Feng Ji quickly pulled Liu Bei's sleeve. Liu Bei could easily say the wrong thing when he was excited. "King, the weather is cold, don't freeze the prince."
Liu Bei woke up from his dream and quickly handed the child over to the nanny and asked her to wrap it up quickly and not to get frozen. He wiped the boy's urine from his face with his sleeves, and his eyebrows were dancing. "Adou, Adou, this name is good. When we meet, it seems that we are going to get lucky."
"Yes, yes." Feng Ji agreed a few words and felt very happy. At this time, it is always good to have some auspicious signs, at least it doesn't mean that people are so desperate. Even if it was made by Mao, it would be well made. Liu Bei needs such news now.
Liu Bei was only concerned about happiness, but Feng Ji did not forget the main business and asked how Mao Qian appeared here. Mao Qian then said that Guan Yu surrendered, Guan Jing surrendered to Sun Ce, and all the civil and military families became prisoners, but Sun Ce did not make things difficult for them. After counting the number of people, they were soon released. Not only her, but the families of others were also dismissed. Feng Ji's family returned to Qingzhou and did not go with her.
Feng Ji was surprised. "Is it the order of King Sun Ce of Wu?"
Mao Qian nodded. "Yes, the King of Wu asked me to bring a word."
"What's the matter?"
Mao Qian hesitated a little and stammered for a long time. Liu Bei was a little anxious and urged loudly: "What did he say, just say it, what's there to hesitate about?"
"Wu...The King of Wu said, please cherish my concubine and this child well and don't lose it again."
