Chapter 72

Ever since he suspected that Guixiang was in collusion with King Kuaiji, Ari didn't dare to eat whatever the Queen Mother rewarded him with.

But in fact, Ari thinks that the Queen Mother is not such a confused person.The current emperor and Sima Yu were brought up by her at any rate. Sima Yu treated her like a grandmother, and Princess Jing'an like an aunt.The queen mother has stayed in the palace for most of her life, so she can't even see this sincerity.Even though the King of Kuaiji is Yu Xiu's husband, can he really be closer to her than Sima Yu?After all, Yu Xiu is already the daughter of the empress dowager's nephew, and the king of Kuaiji is not a person who knows everything.

But it's hard to say how big Yang En is.The queen mother has lost her husband and son. Maybe what she thinks in her heart is to give it a go and help her family regain their former power?
Although there is no evidence, Ari still did not hide it from Sima Yu.

After all, if these two people really do something, it must be Sima Yu who will be the first to hurt.Ari is just incidental.

Sima Yu didn't take it to heart when he heard it, he just said, "I'll be noticed."

"Don't take it seriously..."

"It's not a big deal." Sima Yu said, "I've been busy recently, so I can't spare my hands. That Kuaiji king is just a showman. He looks like a virtuous gentleman, but in fact he has no skills and is timid. If you let him toss, you can't turn it over." Let the wind and waves come."

"I'm afraid that he will use some tricks..."

Sima Yu smiled helplessly, "In your eyes, I am such an open-minded person?"

Ari thought to himself, you really are.Not only did you open the empty door wide, but you also opened the door to thieves!
Of course, she, the goalkeeper, did not perform well in Act One...

Sima Yu saw that her complexion changed a few times, so he couldn't help but smiled and took her over and kissed her, "Why don't you help me teach him a lesson? I'll do whatever you say. Let's play hard to get, and use the scheme? What is the scent of that?" Who's in the house? Shall I pretend to be fascinated by her and see what the Kuaiji King's next plan is?"

Ari pinched Sima Yu's nose with his backhand, "How dare you."

"Uh... I'm just pretending."

"It's not okay to pretend! Do you want me to pretend too, there are more men around you than women around me!"

It felt inappropriate to say it, but he couldn't hide it anymore, so he simply threw away Sima Yu and entered the house in a fit of anger to lock the door.

Sima Yu rubbed his nose and chased after him, but he was slammed and refused to push the door away. He felt very aggrieved, "Okay, why are you losing your temper... I'm just kidding you."

Ari leaned against the door, her body gradually slid down, she sat hugging her knees, feeling slightly tired.

Sima Yu was still trying to comfort him outside, but Ari didn't answer.

She thought, maybe Sima Yu couldn't figure out how he got into Ahri's restricted area even if he tried his best.It was like his original sin, and he was punished for it even though he never did it.It's not fair when you think about it.

There was gradually no sound outside.

Ari thought, Sima Yu is actually quite tired, he has so many things to worry about every day, his interpersonal relationship is only more complicated and tortuous than hers, which disturbs him unbearably.It's hard to be patient and coax her outside the door for so long.

She thinks this is also very good. It's the same for the two of them to sleep or think clearly, and then talk when they calm down tomorrow.

But at this moment the window creaked.The cold wind of winter swept in with water vapor, and Ahri, who was frozen instantly, had a headache.

Sima Yu quickly crawled in from the window, stood on the table to close the window, and hecked his hands to keep warm.

"Who sealed the window? It made me pry for a long time."

Ari choked in his throat.When she was upset, it was inevitable that he would become even more angry if he lifted the weight so lightly.

He got up and wanted to go inside again, Sima Yu hurriedly jumped off the table to catch up.He grabbed Ari's arm, and Ari rolled up the curtain that was hanging down to the ground to wrap himself up tightly like a cocoon.

Sima Yu untied the cocoon several times before he could not untie it, so he hugged the cocoon completely, "Why didn't I realize before that you have such a big temper."

Because you didn't even look at me at that time—Ari thought.

"I admitted my mistake, and I will never make such jokes again. My lady, please forgive me one more time." Sima Yu laughed again.

Ali sighed inside.Still no answer.

There was a sound of "tearing", and Sima Yu actually tore open such a thick curtain.When the light came in from outside, he pulled the fabric apart, so that Ari could show his face, and first he smiled at her.Suddenly, as if he discovered something again, his gaze sank slightly.There is also some meaning in the smile.

"Do you know what it means to bind yourself?"

Ari ignored him and turned to avoid him.

He gently tugged the cloth in his hand.Ari was brought down by him, and he couldn't even open his arms to maintain his balance, and his head was already knocked on his shoulder.

Sima Yu smiled and said, "You keep hiding?"

Ari bit him on the shoulder resentfully, and he was not angry, so he hugged Ari horizontally, threw the whole body on the bed, and said with a smile, "Tie it up first. Let's have a good talk."

In fact, Ari has already said what he wanted to say, and the rest is just private conversation between the young couple.But she doesn't want to tell him now.

If she didn't speak, Sima Yu guessed wildly.

"You are so angry because that girl is prettier than others, right? She is indeed pretty."

Ari was a little discouraged.Whoever it is, hearing her husband praise other women for their beauty, would wish to kick him out of bed.

"But it's not as pretty as you think." Sima Yu said again.

Is it good-looking or not good-looking?Ahri sneered violently.

"...It's far worse than you." Sima Yu said sincerely.

Liar!Ari thought, anyone with eyes knows that Zuo Jiasi is more beautiful.

"Really, that's what I think." He seemed to be recalling, "When I saw you for the first time, I thought you were very good-looking. How to put it, it's as if your whole body is shining, making it impossible not to look at.

Ari finally couldn't help but retort, "His Royal Highness's refusal to marry is so vigorous that it makes people cry."

Sima Yu was choked, and it took him a long time before he said with little confidence, "When I was young, I always had to make trouble. You wouldn't hold grudges like this, it all happened so long ago." His voice lowered, He muttered, "Besides, you also know that I'm unreliable. I've never liked a girl so much before. How do I know that I like it... Anyone will resist, such a strange feeling..."

Ari said: "Normal people can't."

Sima Yu vowed, "Because you are a woman, you don't know. Men are like this. The more you like them, the more you will bully them, and the more you will pretend not to care. When Ahu was a child, he used to scare Huanniang by catching grasshoppers. Pulled Xie Niang's braid."

Ah Li resolutely dismissed, "Ah Yan didn't."

"Absolutely, you didn't see it." Sima Yu also decisively provided evidence, "If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."

Ari: Have you never been a man to bully her?What's more, is this a nature!Besides, how could Xie Lian catch grasshoppers to scare the little girl!
Facing his boss Ma Yu's crooked smiling eyes and seeing the rippling smile inside, Ari realized that he had been fooled by him again.

She closed her eyes resolutely, turned over like a broad bean, and ignored him.

Sima Yu only smiled and helped Ari to untie the cloth wrapped around his body, "Move it, hold it down. Let me untie it for you, otherwise the Qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and you will feel numb in a while."

Ari pulled the quilt to cover his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I want you to take care of it."

However, Sima Yu really didn't care about her.He didn't move for a long time, Ari was alone under the quilt, and somehow wanted to cry, tears kept streaming down.

After a while, he threw the quilt away and exposed his head to breathe.

Sima Yu put his hands on her waist, breathed evenly, and fell asleep.

Ari pinched his nose angrily, he waved his hand half asleep and muttered, "Don't make trouble, I haven't slept well recently..."

"I didn't sleep well, what did you do?"

And Sima Yu obediently confessed, "Meng, it's a mess... I can't sleep well..." Ari was still talking, Sima Yu grabbed two handfuls, and pressed her head into his arms, "Shh... sleep."

The Empress Dowager's birthday was in the twelfth lunar month. Due to the tense situation in Jiangbei, there was no big celebration.Only the princes of Hailing King and Kuaiji King, the grandchildren of the Empress Dowager, came to Jianye City to celebrate their birthdays, and a banquet was held in Huiyin Hall.

Years later, King Hailing became a vassal, but King Kuaiji was busy buying property in Jianye City.He played under the banner of Yu Xiu.And Yu Xiu's father and brother were indeed working in the capital, and they were favored by the Queen Mother, so there was nothing to question.

What's more, the eyes of Chaozhong are all fixed on Beichao.

The emperor of Northern Qin dispatched troops one after another, and under heavy pressure, the destruction of Xiangyang City seemed inevitable.The soldiers of Jingzhou are still standing firm, but they suffer heavy losses. The governor Wang Qian intends to abandon Xiangyang and avoid the front for the time being, but Wei Lang persuades him.Xiangyang alone controls the Han River, which connects the north and the south. Losing Xiangyang is equivalent to losing half of Jingzhou.Once the Northern Qin army sailed down the Yangtze River, Jianye City and the Yanzhou army would have to bear five or ten times the pressure.

Wei Lang is a capable person.Under such a bad situation, not only did Wang Qian stick to Xiangyang, but he also sent out surprise troops to win one after another.Although it did not turn the tide of the battle, it also boosted the morale of the Xiangyang defenders.Wang Tan helped him raise reinforcements in the court, and gave him all he could to help him, but at the same time he thought, after this battle, he will marry a daughter to him no matter what, and he must not miss it again.

——It would be a pity to let such a young man become someone else's bed.

Sima Yu was also too busy to touch the ground. In March, he went to Jingkou to urge preparations for the war.

In this situation, Ari can no longer get angry with him over trivial matters.Just take care of the backyard more carefully to avoid any trouble.

It is inevitable that Zuo Jiasi will be left out in the cold again.

Zuo Jiasi was not so withdrawn this time, knowing that Ari was busy, she would often come to Ari with jars and give him anything delicious.

This child is from the dark cooking world, just like a tonic soup, it must be full of all the ingredients that she thinks are delicious and nourishing, it can be called a complete tonic.However, when I opened the lid, I saw the dead herring, river crab, and shrimp elbow inside... By the way, there were also stewed bamboo fungus and water chestnut meat, and Ari had to write a tragic word in his head...

The taste is... not bad.

Seeing Ah Li eating the food from Zuo Jiasi, the concubines and maids in the backyard of the East Palace had different expressions, and everyone had something on their minds.

It was like this until June, when the Northern Qin Emperor finally came up with a grand plan that was as old as the past and today - gathered an army of one million, and went south to attack.It is said that in Luoyang, official positions were drawn up for the official residences built by Taifu Xie and the current emperor.

Ari often thinks that Beiqin, the bright and upright bastard emperor, may have a collection habit... You see, no matter how many enemies he has destroyed that country, he doesn't like to destroy other people's vital forces.Regardless of whether the monarch is wise or stupid, whether the minister is virtuous or treacherous, they will all be moved to Luoyang, given official positions and official residences, and the world will be unified and happy.

But these people could actually turn around and gather their own people as they were, and bite him back.

If you treat others with virtue, they may not repay you with righteousness.In fact, when he was defeated like a mountain, except for Murong Juan, every enemy he had forgiven bit him back.until he was bitten to death.

Idealism does not work in this cruel and realistic world.Overly romantic heroes are ultimately tragic heroes.

As soon as Sima Yu came back from Jingkou, he accepted the emperor's order again and went to the front line to supervise the battle for the emperor.
