Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 36
"It's snowing again. It's better to stay at home tomorrow."

We originally agreed to go out to play together tomorrow, but looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Xu Jiashu made a decisive decision.

"Okay, then is it okay if I don't eat dried meat for dinner?"

Liu Ying took the opportunity to bargain.

"."

Xu Jiashu held his forehead. Ever since he lived with the eldest princess, he felt like he was living the life of his old father decades earlier in the simulation.

In just a few days, the relationship between the two developed to a quite stable level - he did not have to accompany and carefully serve the eldest princess all the time, while Liu Ying was very well-behaved most of the time, but occasionally acted a little bit, such as On the issue of late night snacks.

As mentioned before, because there were no conditions for working at night, ordinary people in the Han Dynasty only ate two meals a day, but it is obvious that Liu Ying was not in the category of "ordinary people" in all senses.

According to the royal system, the diet is four meals a day, divided into "dan food", "day food", "evening food" and "evening food".

The first three meals were okay. As a modern person, Xu Jiashu was always picky. He often spent a lot of the Lumi issued by the court to replace it with ingredients for his own cooking. When Liu Ying came, he just added a pair of chopsticks. , not a big problem.

But this "twilight eclipse" is very difficult to do. Liu Ying's biological clock is more confusing than the author's coding ideas. He always likes to get up in the middle of the night and wakes up Xu Jiashu, saying pitifully that she is hungry. As a last resort, he spent a large sum of salary to buy a lot of dried meat.

“Isn’t the jerky delicious?”

In order to save his sleep, Xu Jiashu decided to work harder.

"Cold and oily."

Liu Ying pursed his lips and said in disgust.

After all, she was used to eating Shaofu's food. For her, the bought dried meat was really hard to swallow. If possible, she would rather eat it cooked by Xu Jiashu himself.

"Okay," Xu Jiashu announced his surrender, "I'll make you a supper tonight!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had frowned slightly just now, cheered, took the initiative to bring him a cloak, and warned him like a gentle newlywed wife: "Come back early, remember to bring money home!"

Xu Jiashu, who was leaving for work, couldn't help but look back at Liu Ying, who was waving to him - what's with this subtle sense of being a social animal?

Speaking of which, Xu Jiashu's proposal accidentally saved everyone's life last time. Whether it was out of reward for this contribution or simply to subsidize his sister who escaped from the cloud platform, every time after the calligraphy class, the little The emperor would reward you with something valuable.

Of course, you can't give too much, otherwise it will easily attract Dong Zhuo's attention.

"The traitor Dong said he wanted to move the capital"

In class, the little emperor communicated secretly with Xu Jiashu every day.

"I know"

he whispered back.

Thanks to the simulator, Xu Jiashu has experienced the matter of moving the capital several times, both from the perspective of hearsay and from the perspective of those who have experienced it.

How should I put it, I feel a little numb.

Last time, as a captain of Dong Zhuo's camp, he escorted Dong Bai and Cai Yan to leave in advance. This time, the treatment was not so good. As a doctor, he would definitely have to retreat with the huge organization of Shangshutai.

For example, he is like a snowflake in an avalanche, and he can only venture to the end of the world.

However, Xu Jiashu said that it didn't matter. All the difficulties and dangers were all borne by him in the simulation anyway.

Come on, don't pity me because I'm a delicate flower!
[Liu Xie was hesitant to speak throughout the class, but never found a chance to talk in detail]

[Thinking again and again, at the risk of being discovered, he repeated his old trick and dismissed the attendants, telling you that something big will happen after the capital is moved. I hope you can hide with Liu Ying and protect her.]

Xu Jiashu was slightly shocked when he saw this text simulation.

He originally thought that the plan to assassinate Dong was just a joint plan of several important officials from aristocratic families, but he did not expect that Liu Xie was actually one of the insiders. You must know that he was only 8 years old!

Once again lamenting the emperor's mental skills passed down from the old Liu family for hundreds of years, Xu Jiashu continued to look down.

[The imperial court will soon arrange for you to go to a local post, away from Chang'an. To this, your reply is]

[[-]. I also want to join. The Han family has been raising scholars for four hundred years, and today is the day of righteousness and death! 】

[[-]. I am not interested in the big things His Majesty said, but it will be good to stay in Chang'an when the time comes. 】【[-]. How dare you disobey His Majesty’s decree? 】

【[-]. Free Simulation】

These options are not complicated, and each represents a different degree of participation in the subsequent historical events. The little emperor's intention is also very clear - take his sister Liu Ying away so that he can safely deal with Dong Zhuo.

After Liu Ying escaped, Dong Zhuo lost one way to manipulate Liu Xie.

Just like the historical incident of wearing an edict on a shirt, no matter how angry Cao Cao was, the most he would do was to eradicate all the ministers involved, and he would never touch a hair of the emperor himself.

Xu Jiashu didn't think much and directly chose option three and accepted the little emperor's arrangement.

The reason is simple. He doesn't have many simulations left. In order to get high scores and avoid unnecessary complications, it is best to stay as far away from the center of the vortex as Chang'an as possible.

Xu Jiashu's actions cannot be said to be selfish. After all, the Wannian Princess in history did not leave any deeds, and there was no historical trend to refer to. He could only make the most conservative choice, and this was also an indirect way to help Liu Xie. way.

After a brief conversation, the little emperor received Xu Jiashu's assurance that although one of them was only 8 years old, this was undoubtedly an agreement between the two men.

When he got home in the evening, Liu Ying came to him and asked for today's salary.

Xu Jiashu was startled. He didn't get any salary, but he was given an official hat.

Thinking of leaving here soon, he suddenly felt guilty.

"Let's go out tomorrow," he said to Liu Ying, casually hanging up his cloak, "I'll show you the snowy Luoyang."

"Great!"

The outskirts of Luoyang are a large area.

Not to mention Mang Mountain in the north, Luoshui is not far to the south from where Xu Jiashu lives. It snows heavily in the middle of winter, and the river is covered with a thick layer of ice. From time to time, people go back and forth on both sides of the river.

Watching the snow outside Nangong for the first time, Liu Ying dressed up carefully. She put on the three-layer silkworm suit she wore when she left the palace, and wore a new fox fur coat - Liu Xie sent it to Xu Jiashu in the name of giving it to her. Yes, as beautiful as the snow girl in the story.

Xu Jiashu would look back at her every few steps he took.

"What are you looking at?"

Her nose was red from the cold, and she felt a little weak.

"I'm afraid you're lost!" Xu Jiashu replied angrily, "It's snowing so heavily and you're wearing all white. Are you a Finnish sniper?"

"Oh~"

Although he didn't understand what "Finnish Sniper" meant, but he heard that he might get lost, Liu Ying immediately followed Xu Jiashu and turned into his humanoid pendant.

Realizing that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's mood suddenly dropped, Secretary Xu decided to take her to go skating on the Luo River.

"What if it melts?"

Liu Ying stretched out a leg and frantically tested the edge of the ice, but refused to stand on it.

"You've melted." Xu Jiashu pretended to be thoughtful and threatened, "If you melt, let's die together."

He pushed hard and pushed most of the remaining body of Liu Ying onto the ice.

"Help—eh?"

Liu Ying looked back and saw that the culprit was supporting her from behind, looking like he was at ease.

"You won't let go suddenly, will you?"

"No, just row forward."

"Oh, you won't let go even if the ice melts?"

"will not!"
