Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 264: Old Friends Dare Not Recognize Each Other
Zhang Sui's breathing became slightly rapid.

It’s not that he had any improper thoughts after seeing Fu Shou.

Instead, he saw that Fu Shou had become so thin that he looked unrecognizable.

She is obviously only a teenage girl.

At this moment, his eyes were lifeless, like a dying person.

Zhang Chunhua also noticed Zhang Sui's strangeness. She followed Zhang Sui's gaze and saw Queen Fu Shou.

Zhang Chunhua pulled Sima Yi's hand and said, "Brother Zhongda, is that the queen?"

Sima Yi then looked over and said with a complicated expression: "Looking at the decoration, it should be it."

"It's just that it looks like you haven't dressed up in a long time."

"A great nation has fallen to such a state."

Queen Fu Shou was originally looking up at the sun with a blank look.

Feeling the strange gaze, she lowered her head and looked over.

When Fu Shou's eyes met Zhang Sui's, he narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his head quickly.

Under her long sleeves, her small hands were clenched tightly.

Not long after, she turned around and left.

Zhang Sui looked at Fu Shou's thin back as she left, and then he withdrew his gaze.

The group didn't have to wait long before Fu Wan came out and said that the emperor asked them to go into the hall to meet him.

Everyone followed Fu Wan into the government office and walked all the way to the hall.

At the head of the hall, the emperor was wearing a black robe with a smile on his face.

He still has some baby fat on his face.

Below him, there were several people kneeling on each side.

When Fu Wan arrived with these people, they all looked over at him with a stern look on their faces.

Zhang Sui followed Sima Fang and paid tribute to the emperor.

Afterwards, the emperor introduced the people kneeling on his left and right sides one by one to meet the crowd.

They were the father-in-law Dong Cheng, General of the Cavalry Zhang Ji, General of the Chariots and Cavalry Yang Feng, and the Right Wise King of the Xiongnu Qu Bei.

Zhang Sui and others met with these people one by one.

Afterwards, Zhang Sui took out Yuan Shao's appointment document and handed it to Emperor Liu Xie.

Liu Xie scanned the documents.

Seeing that there was no mention of welcoming him to Yecheng in the appointment document, Liu Xie looked rather unhappy.

Yuan Shao was unwilling to support himself in becoming emperor.

Today I look down on people even more.

However, what made him even angrier was that he actually saw Li Ru, the man who killed his brother!
Liu Xie looked at Li Ru with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Sooner or later, I will find a way to kill him!

After Zhang Sui met the emperor, the emperor asked his father-in-law Dong Cheng, General of the Cavalry Zhang Ji, General of the Chariots and Cavalry Yang Feng, Right Wise King Qu Bei and others to discuss with Zhang Sui the matter of crossing the river to defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

There is nothing to discuss at all!

These people actually attempted to take over Zhang Sui's military power!
How could Zhang Sui agree to this?

He brought these people here to train them.

Looking at his father-in-law Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others who were all blushing and angry, Zhang Sui didn't bother to say anything.

There is really no one with vision among this group of people.

In history, the father-in-law of the emperor, Dong Cheng, was able to issue a so-called "Secret Edict" right under Cao Cao's nose, which shows what the vision of these people is.

Zhang Sui thought of a statement mentioned by someone in later generations.

In fact, the late Han Dynasty was no different from the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in later generations.

They are just a bunch of weaklings cheating each other.

The reason why the late Han Dynasty is particularly passed down in later generations is not because of how capable these ministers were, but because of the appearance of two people in this period of history: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei allowed the Han Dynasty to finally exit with dignity.

Zhuge Liang set a perfect standard for a prime minister for future generations.

Zhang Sui had not been able to understand these words before, but now, looking at the ferocious looks of Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others, he understood.

He had the urge to hack these bastards to death!
Sure enough, this group of people are very powerful.

It's just a pure comparison of the worst.

Emperor Liu Xie also noticed that Zhang Sui had an ugly expression on his face.

Zhang Sui brought so many soldiers and horses this time, they were probably the key personnel who helped him cross the river to the south and defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

Emperor Liu Xie did not dare to offend Zhang Sui.

Therefore, he asked people to prepare a banquet immediately to welcome Zhang Sui and others.

Before the banquet began, the emperor summoned singing girls to dance in the hall to liven up the atmosphere.

Zhang Sui watched the singer dancing gracefully and listened to the musicians playing songs. For the first time, he understood what "靡靡之音" meant.

Zhang Sui's eyes swept over Emperor Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng and others, with a sneer on his lips.

This group of people really never forget to enjoy themselves at all times.

He thought of a poem he had learned in his junior high school Chinese textbook: "Beyond the mountains are green mountains, beyond the buildings are buildings, when will the singing and dancing at West Lake stop? The warm wind intoxicates the tourists, who mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou."

Zhang Sui hardly said anything else.

After the banquet was served, Zhang Sui ate a few mouthfuls hastily, and then, on the pretext of being full, asked someone to pack up his uneaten food in a wooden box, and said to Emperor Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I will walk around to see if there is any place that needs additional vigilance. If there is, I will bring troops in tomorrow to strengthen the vigilance."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Zhang!"

Zhang Sui ignored everyone else and walked around the government office carrying the wooden box.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he finally stopped.

His gaze stopped not far away.

In the golden afterglow of the setting sun, under the eaves, a group of concubines sat around a wooden cross.

Everyone held a porcelain bowl in their hands.

In the porcelain bowls, a few lonely wild vegetables were floating in the watery porridge.

However, they looked like they were eating some delicacies from land and sea.

Zhang Sui's eyes swept across the faces of these concubines one by one.

Their faces were so thin that they were no longer human.

Some concubines had high cheekbones on their faces.

There is absolutely no beauty to be seen.

These concubines were drinking porridge with great relish.

Someone noticed that Zhang Sui was carrying a wooden box and stopped not far away.

They all turned their heads.

Looking at the armor on Zhang Sui, the concubines all shrank back.

Some people even stood up and tried to retreat.

Zhang Sui's eyes fell on Fu Shou, who was kneeling in the corner on the east side of the crowd.

Fu Shou ignored him, just lowered her head, licked the porcelain bowl with her tongue, looking like she was still unsatisfied.

Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment and did not go over. Instead, he called a eunuch from nearby and asked the eunuch to deliver the wooden box to the group of concubines.

Zhang Sui didn't dare to say that it was given to Queen Fu Shou.

Just let the eunuchs distribute it one by one, and each person should give out a small portion.

After watching the eunuch give Fu Shou a piece of chicken, Zhang Sui turned around and left to continue his patrol.

After patrolling the entire government hall, Zhang Sui returned to the hall and took Li Ru away. The two of them left Anyi County and rushed to the military camp to rest.

Today he saw the current situation of Anyi County.

He didn't dare sleep in the city.

Not only did he not dare to sleep in the city, he would have to bring people in tomorrow just in case.

After returning to the camp with Li Ru, Zhang Sui summoned Zhen Hao, Huang Han, Li Ru and Xu Rong, and arranged for Li Ru to fake his death and escape.

After the arrangement was completed, everyone left.

Zhang Sui stood alone at the door of the general's tent, looking towards the direction of Anyi County, his mind filled with the image of Fu Shou's skinny appearance.
