Hearing Liu Ying's words, Liu Xie, who had been silent all this time, smiled coldly, "What a spirit."
The irony in the words is very obvious.
Then, he looked at Liu Ying coldly and said, "I know you like to practice martial arts, so I allow you to study at the Military Academy. I hope you can use your talent on the right path."
"You are usually just naughty, but you actually dragged your younger brother to skip school together, fight with others, and beat them until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen!"
"At such a young age, he can be so ruthless. I really can't believe that I have such a daughter!"
Liu Xie These words were very serious, enough to show the anger in his heart.
After Liu Ying was reprimanded by Liu Xie, his big eyes were filled with tears, but he still said stubbornly, "I am right!"
Liu Xu was startled and said nervously, "Sister Huang, please stop talking nonsense and quickly admit your mistake to Father..."
"That's right!"
Liu Ying raised his sleeves, wiped his face vigorously, and said stubbornly, "I admit that playing truant is wrong, but beating someone is absolutely right!"
"Those guys in the Palace Academy bullied the emperor's gentle temperament and privately said that he looked like a woman. Are they right to do so?"
"Father, you always teach us to help each other. If someone insults the emperor's younger brother, how can I just sit back and watch?"
"Even if I were given another choice, I would still beat them up severely!"
Liu Ying's words stunned Liu Xie, Zhen Mi and others.
Liu Xie's expression changed slightly, not because he was angry, but because he looked at Liu Ying.
Although Liu Ying is a bit naughty, she still takes great care of Liu Xu, the emperor's younger brother, so what she said is most likely true.
If this is the case, then Liu Ying cannot be entirely blamed for what happened this time.
However, one code equals another, and even though Liu Xie is pleased with their brother and sister's actions of supporting each other, they cannot ignore the mistakes they made this time.
"I will handle this matter properly, but the fault of the two of you cannot be easily let go."
"After returning home, each of us was punished to copy the "Disciple Rules" a hundred times. After copying, we took the manuscript and went to the Palace Academy Doctors to offer tea and admit their mistakes."
"In addition, you two are grounded for two months each! Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere except Palace Academy!"
Liu Xie issued the final penalty decision.
Being grounded for two months was fine for Liu Xu, but Liu Ying often ran out of the palace, which was a disaster for her.
However, these punishments are actually not severe. Apparently Liu Xie showed mercy.
"Yes, Father."
Liu Xu and Liu Ying responded, one with tears on his face, the other looking like an eggplant beaten by frost.
When the two of them left, Liu Xie couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "There really is no one to worry about."
Lü Lingqi said with shame, "Your Majesty, it's because I didn't teach Ying'er well that I caused these troubles."
Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "That's all, it's not a big deal. Although Ying'er is naughty, he still cares about Xu'er."
Although he didn't say it, he was actually very happy.
Seeing this, Zhen Mi tried to smooth things over and said, "Your Majesty, Sister Lü, it's getting late, why not go to my palace for lunch today."
Liu Xie nodded, and then went to the Jade Hall with Zhen Mi and Lü Lingqi.
Walking on the road, Lü Lingqi asked Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, didn't Yi Province receive good news a few days ago, saying that Nanman has been destroyed?"
"I wonder when my father will return to Chang'an?"
A year ago, some indigenous tribes in the south of Yi Province launched a rebellion, causing considerable commotion. After learning about this, Lü Bu took the initiative to ask Ying to quell the rebellion.
Although it was not his Grand General's turn to take action on this kind of thing, Lü Bu hadn't fought in a long time and his hands were itchy, so he went there in person.
Just two months ago, good news came back to Chang'an.
Lü Bu led his troops to easily defeat these Nanman who dared to cause trouble, achieved a great victory, and prepared for Triumphant Return to return to the court.
"It should be soon. If nothing goes wrong, Duke Wen should arrive at Chang'an today."
Liu Xie said after calculating the time in his mind.
Just as he finished speaking, a Eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty! The thief Royal Army Triumphant Return has arrived outside Chang'an City!"
"Duke Wen requests an audience!"
Liu Xie heard this and smiled at Lü Lingqi and Zhen Mi: "Look, just say Duke Wen and Duke Wen will be here."
"I'm going to meet Duke Wen first. You two should go have a meal first. I'll go there with Duke Wen later."
Lü Lingqi and Zhen Mi had no objections and left after bowing.
Liu Xie was diverted to the Wen Room Hall to meet Lü Bu.
After arriving at the Wen Room Hall, Lü Bu had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Liu Xie arriving, he immediately saluted and said, "See Your Majesty!"
The voice is as lively as ever.
Seeing Lü Bu, Liu Xie's mood rarely improved. Just when he was about to say no, he noticed that Lü Bu's arm was bandaged with gauze, and he was stunned.
"Fengxian, are you... injured?"
Chapter 523 The hero is late, the strange man Zuo Ci
"Oh, this."
Lü Bu took a look at the injury on his arm and explained, "Those barbarians do not have martial ethics. I was accidentally hit by a hidden arrow when I was fighting with their leader."
"But fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous and the wound was treated early. However, I accidentally opened the wound again on the way back."
"Make Your Majesty laugh."
Liu Xie couldn't help but fall into silence after listening.
He looked at Lü Bu, whose temples had turned gray at some point, although he still had the same spirit and style, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Heroes also grow old. Even if they are brave and invincible like Lü Bu, they cannot withstand the ravages of time.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Liu Xie said, "Fengxian, you are not young anymore. You should stay in the college and lead a group of students in the future."
"I, Great Han, have so many talents now, not to mention Wenyuan and Zilong, so why do I need you to kiss Battlefield?"
"Fengxiao has fallen ill. I don't want to see anything happen to you again."
Lü Bu originally wanted to defend himself when he heard this, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Minister over the Masses Guo fell ill?"
He led the troops on an expedition and was not very clear about what happened at Chang'an.
Liu Xie nodded and said with a heavy face, "He became ill due to overwork. Both Imperial Physician Hua and Imperial Physician Zhang said that Fengxiao is beyond cure and has only three months left to live."
Lü Bu After listening, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
He and Guo Jia are also familiar with each other. One of them is the leader of Civil Officials and the other is the leader of Military Generals. They are both working for Son of Heaven in their own ways.
I just didn't expect that Guo Jia would fall ill from exhaustion just after he went out, and he didn't have much time... I can only say that things are unpredictable.
"So Fengxian, you should also pay more attention."
Liu Xie raised his eyes and looked at Lü Bu, with a sincere expression and said, "I have already lost one arm, and I don't want to lose another."
"If you make any mistake, Ying'er and Empress will also be sad."
He really didn't want to see Lü Bu get into trouble again.
Lü Bu had a complex look on his face when he heard this, and sighed, "I am already in my sixties, and I know that it is time for me to retire."
"But sometimes when I wake up in the morning, I always feel that I am still in my twenties or thirties, in my prime."
"Can shoot a hundred-stone bow, dance a hundred-jin Sky-Piercer Halberd, wear heavy armor and fight him for three days and three nights in the midst of thousands of troops, then come back and sleep, and then eat ten pieces of cakes, ten catties of mutton, and ten jars of fine wine."
"It's just that Mr. Chen is thinking about what else to do for Your Majesty and Great Han, but he is always unwilling to obey."
Lü Bu said, reaching out and patting the gauze on his arm, and said with a wry smile, "But now it seems that I am really dissatisfied and will die."
Not to mention too much, even if it were seven or eight years ago, how could he be injured by conquering Nanman.
So I am still old, and time is not forgiving.
Huang Zhong enjoys things much more than he does. He resigned five years ago and went home to take Sun Tzu with him. On weekdays, he would go to the Military Academy to exercise and give lectures, and his life was very leisurely.
Liu Xie heard the loneliness in Lü Bu's tone, so he said, "Fengxian, you have done enough for Great Han."
"When you have time, you should better discipline Ying'er for me. She is too naughty. She even beat someone in the Palace Academy today. She is really lawless."
When he mentioned his precious daughter Grandson, Lü Bu immediately became energetic and asked with great interest, "Did you win the battle?"
Looking at Lü Bu's curious look in front of him, Liu Xie suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said this.
Let Lü Bu discipline Liu Ying, I'm afraid it will only have the opposite effect.
After such a joke, Liu Xie's originally complicated mood disappeared in an instant. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go to Imperial Physician Hua to check his injuries first, and then stay and have a meal together."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lü Bu responded with clasped fists, turned around and left, but turned back again before taking two steps.
Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lü Bu said, "Your Majesty, I met an alchemist on the way to conquer Nanman. This man possesses strange skills and may have a way to cure Minister over the Masses Guo."
"Alchemist?"
Liu Xie frowned. As a good young man who grew up under the red flag, he is a staunch materialist fighter.
He didn't believe in such illusory things as ghosts and gods.
But just when he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of his own time travel.
Even time travel has happened, what else is impossible?
Besides, what if?
Thinking of this, Liu Xie asked, "Who is this alchemist and what magic does he have?"
Lü Bu said, "This person's name is Zuo Ci, also known as Black-Horned Adept. He travels around the world to treat illnesses and save people."
"That day, I led the troops passing by Shu Commandery. One of the Warhorsess suddenly went crazy and charged at passers-by. I saw with my own eyes that he stopped the Warhorsess in place with just one finger. He is truly a man of God."
