It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 695 There is only one person in my heart
At that moment, Shi Le even felt that his life might be lost here.

But Liu Yao's fist did not actually fall, it just stayed in mid-air.

"General Shi, you lost?" Liu Yao's voice was loud, and the soldiers on his side had already cheered loudly.

Shi Le also understood his current situation. If he got angry and wrestled with Liu Yao again, it would seem like a fight, but in fact it would be a loss of face. The only thing he could do now, and the most decent thing, was to laugh loudly, sprawl out, and lie on the ground, "Brother Liu is young, I am ashamed of myself."

In this situation, Liu Yao could no longer hit anymore. He retracted his fist and changed to inviting with his palm.

Shi Le took advantage of his strength to jump up and asked, "Brother Liu, you could have cut open my chest and taken a look."

"Why?" Liu Yao was stunned.

"I just want to tell Brother Liu that my heart is filled with Brother Liu and the great mission of pacifying the world!" Shi Le said nice words, and at the same time, he squinted at his own army. Shi Hu felt a little aggrieved, but seeing his commander shaking hands with Liu Yao, he could only take a step back and lead his soldiers to slowly retreat. The two teams stood together on the left side of Jingzhou City, leaving the right side to Liu Yao's men.

This also shows that when the two sides stayed in Jingzhou City, there was no distinction between the ruler and the subject, and between the two parties of high and low status.

The soldiers were all taking action. Liu Yao and Shi Le even held hands together. Although it was a bit hypocritical, they finally showed sincerity in cooperation.

But Liu Yao just said to Shi Le, "I understand General Shi's intentions. But I only have one person in my heart, and I can't let go of General Shi."

"Oh? Who is it?" Shi Le still had a smile on his face.

"If you have a chance, you might as well cut it open and take a look." Liu Yao exerted force on his hands and started arm wrestling with Shi Le again.

Shi Le also laughed, and he could fight him with all his strength. "Brother Liu, you are joking. Let's go into the city and have a good chat."

"Okay." Liu Yao suddenly withdrew his hand, and Shi Le lost his strength and almost fell down again.

He was a little embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "There are too many rubbles outside Jingzhou City, we still need to clean them up."

"Yes." There was no joy or anger in Liu Yao's black eyes, but there was some majesty.

The negotiations between the two parties in Jingzhou went smoothly. They agreed to march towards Jiankang together to threaten Sima Rui, while also quickly capturing some important towns to replenish their own army's food and grass.

Of course, once they decided on the general direction, the rest of the details were left to the lower levels to handle.

Liu Yao and Shi Le were both polite to each other. After talking for five days, they each set off to return to their own territories.

Liu Yao naturally had to return to Chang'an. He didn't want Yang Xianrong to continue to appear in front of everyone because her face was so beautiful. There were even soldiers who were not afraid of death who found an opportunity to get close to where Yang Xianrong lived, wanting to see her beauty.

"Should I give you a veil?" Liu Yao held Yang Xianrong in his arms and whispered.

They lived in a courtyard of a wealthy family in Jingzhou, which was very beautiful with carved beams and painted buildings. Yang Xianrong liked this place very much. While Liu Yao was negotiating with Shi Le and others, she and Cui Xi strolled around here and carefully admired these exquisite patterns.

Of course, there are also many exquisite porcelains on display here, all of which look new, and must have taken a lot of effort. "You don't need the veil, right? Why not take some porcelain back? These are really beautiful." Yang Xianrong smiled and dodged Liu Yao's stubble kiss, pointing to a two-handled porcelain vase on the table, "This is the best looking. If you can put red plum blossoms in it, it should be even more beautiful."

"Red plum? We have to wait until spring, right?" Liu Yao looked in the direction of her finger, but his lips also fell on her finger.

"When we go back, it will be spring in a few days, right?" Yang Xianrong smiled and tried to pull her hand away, but Liu Yao refused, and the two started quarreling again.

Cui Xi wanted to bring in a basin of warm water, but she couldn't help but smile when she heard the two people's voices, so she left. She did have a lot of things to do, and the point was that she had just received a secret letter from Liu Cheng, saying that he had found out a lot of things, and was just waiting for Yang Xianrong's order so that the Shaoying Group could take action again.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she met Liu Gu. He walked in hurriedly with a lot of letters and almost bumped into Cui Xi.

"Manager Liu," Cui Xi called out, "If it's not an urgent military situation, you can go there later."

Liu Gu naturally understood this hint. He smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll come back later."

"Or, you can come back tomorrow morning." Cui Xi also laughed and lowered her voice and said, "Didn't you say you would leave the day after tomorrow? Can you send some people to follow me tomorrow? I want to see if there are any delicious foods in Jingzhou and buy some back."

"Well...or, let me go buy it." Liu Gu replied quickly.

"It's okay, I'll go take a look." Cui Xi had already pulled him out.

"In fact, both armies are here, and those shops are closed. Many people are hiding, and there is nothing good to eat." Liu Gu sighed in a low voice, "Shi Le and his men are too tyrannical. Although they have restrained themselves a lot because of our presence, his men are really robbing."

"That man is not a good person at all." Cui Xi also hated Shi Le very much, especially the way he looked at the girl Yang Xianrong, which always gave her a deep sense of aggression.

Yang Xianrong was very generous and ignored all this. But Cuixi felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

"It's okay. We're almost leaving." Liu Gu thought for a moment. "There are a few shops open in our area, that back street. We can go take a look."

"Yes." Cui Xi nodded, "Is there any porcelain for sale? The girl likes these things very much and wants to buy a few pieces."

"Hey, why bother buying them?" Liu Gu pouted, "The Queen is just too kind. Actually, we can get these back through conquest."

"That won't work. The girl won't agree." Cui Xi quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

"Then we have porcelain in Chang'an Palace, so there is no need to buy it here..." Liu Gu was a little puzzled.

"Just to see if there are any new styles." Cui Xi glanced into the courtyard and then said, "The girl wants to see if there are any nice porcelains to use as pen holders and painting scrolls. The objects don't need to be too big, but they have to be exquisite. In addition, the princes' study rooms also need these things, and the porcelain paintings have to have some culture and storytelling."

"This... I have to ask about this, but I don't quite understand." Liu Gu laughed dryly, "I have to go back to the palace and ask those palace officials about purchasing."

"Isn't Manager Liu responsible for this?" Cui Xi asked.

"I am in charge, but there are too many things to do in the palace... Hey, I want to ask the emperor for an order to expand the staff. Now there are really not enough people." Liu Gu sighed again, "I have been with the emperor and the empress for several months, and many things in the Chang'an Palace have been put on hold."
