Liu Jing ordered Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to lead thousands of troops to continue to wipe out the barbarian armed forces that resisted the Jingzhou army in southern Yizhou, with the focus on attacking Yong Kai's army. Liu Jing issued a strict order to completely eliminate the power of the Yong family in Jianning County in Nanyizhou.

But Liu Jing did not participate in the mobilization of southern Yizhou. He led an army of 50,000 to return to Jingzhou. At this point, the battle between Yizhou and Hanzhong, which lasted for two months, came to a successful conclusion.

It is already late May, and the weather is getting hotter. This summer is particularly hotter than in previous years. The quiet heat steeps on the earth, shining, swaying leisurely and gently. There are few pedestrians on the streets. The joy of capturing Yizhou and Hanzhong has gradually faded in the hearts of the people of Xiangyang. Only by chance will some people celebrating victory gather under the shade of the trees and beat drums.

The 50,000 troops returned to Xiangyang in a low-key manner. They returned at night and went straight to the barracks to rest, as if they were training from outside, without causing any trouble. Liu Jing also returned to his mansion at night.

He received a letter from his wife. As he expected, Xiao Bao's mother gave birth to a daughter last month, which made Liu Jing overjoyed. After arranging the army, he immediately rushed back to the mansion.

The inner hall was extremely lively. Liu Jing's return was warmly welcomed by his family. Everyone gathered together, laughing constantly, sharing the joy of the family reunion.

Xiao Baoniang carefully handed the cradle to Liu Jing. Her face was flushed and her eyes were filled with the happiness of becoming a mother for the first time.

Although she was determined to give birth to a baby, and her daughter's birth frustrated, Tao Zhan told her that when Liu Jing hoped that she would let go of her heart and raise her daughter wholeheartedly.

Liu Jing carefully hugged his daughter, and a pink baby face appeared in front of him. The little guy was sleeping sweetly. He looked carefully and his face was very round. Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "This is a small bag."

Everyone laughed, Bao Niang twisted her fingers a little uneasy, and quickly explained: "She is still young, and her face will not be round when she grows up."

Liu Jing laughed, "I'm just kidding. This is my heartbeat. I can't call it Xiaobao, it's Xiaozhuer."

At this time, Tao Zhan smiled and said, "When the father wants to name the child, have you thought about it?"

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "I just said she was a little Zhu, so I called Liu Zhu. This is my eldest daughter, which means the pearl in my hand."

Bao Niang took her daughter happily, and her daughter finally got her name, Liu Zhu, and her husband personally admitted that this was his eldest daughter.

At this time, Liu Jing found that Sun Shangxiang was very quiet tonight, smiling without saying a word, and smiling very gently, which is relatively rare.

He glanced at Sun Shangxiang and asked with a smile: "My second wife is very quiet tonight."

"It's nothing. I'm very happy when you come back. I'm just thinking about when you can fulfill your promise." Sun Shangxiang's expression was still very calm, but there was a sly smile in her gem-like bright eyes.

"Promise" Liu Jing was a little stunned. He had made any promises but he had no impression of him.

Of course, Sun Shangxiang was not worried about being out of her knees. She was born with freedom and didn't want to be bound by her children. But she had been bored in the mansion for several months and was really bored, so she wanted to follow Liu Jing on a trip.

"You forgot"

Seeing Liu Jing's face was confused, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but say coquettishly: "If I were a meritorious person, and you forgot the promise you made, what should I do?"

Tao Zhan knew Sun Shangxiang’s thoughts, so he smiled and reminded Liu Jing: “My husband seems to have really forgotten. You promised Shangxiang to take her to travel with me, and I remember it.”

As a housewife, Tao Zhan had other ideas. She and Bao Niang had children, but Shang Xiang did not make any noise. This would not only make Shang Xiang feel uncomfortable, but it would also be difficult to explain to Jiangdong.

Tao Zhan still remembered the difficulty of her and her husband wanting a child, but this kind of thing could not be rumored to the public, so she thought about giving Shang Xiang more time to be with Liu Jing, which was the best way.

Liu Jing then remembered that he seemed to have agreed to Sun Shangxiang. He patted his forehead and smiled at Sun Shangxiang: "There are so many things, you must remind me. This way, I will go to Yizhou in a few days, and you can go with me."

Sun Shangxiang was immediately very happy and said with a smile: "Is it true that the Zhou Mu will not break his promise again?"

"Not this time. If the war starts, it is really difficult to take care of the family, but this time it is a patrol, there is no problem."

After saying that, Liu Jing stretched his waist long and smiled, "I'm going to have a good sleep tonight, I'm tired."

At night, Tao Zhan went to visit his son and returned to his room. Liu Jing was sitting on the couch and scalding his feet with hot water. When he saw his wife go back, he smiled and asked, "Is the child sleeping?"

"Well, sleep like a pig."

Tao Zhan smiled with a smile: "Tonight I'm going to sleep with a big pig next to me."

She joked, squatted down again, and massaged the acupoints on her husband's feet carefully. Liu Jing was moved. Since they got married, his wife has not changed. He stroked Tao Zhan's hair and said softly: "I promised to take Shangxiang to Yizhou, don't you object?"

Tao Zhan raised his head and asked with a smile: "Do you think I should object or I feel uncomfortable?"

Liu Jing nodded, "If you think it's inappropriate, then forget it."

"Husband, you underestimate me."

Tao Zhan sighed softly, "I'm not as narrow-minded as possible. I also hope that she can give birth to a baby for you, so that Jiangdong can explain it, and I will be under less pressure."

"You are under pressure." Liu Jing was stunned.

Tao Zhan was silent for a moment and said, "There are only one dignified Jingzhou Patriarch and Yizhou Patriarch. Do you think I will be without pressure?"

Liu Jing stroked her pretty face and smiled, "Then we will work hard to relieve the pressure for you tonight."

Tao Zhan's face suddenly turned red, he gently patted his hand and said angrily: "You are tired, you will go to bed early tonight, and I will talk about it tomorrow night."

Liu Jing laughed, but she couldn't help getting into bed. He was afraid that Tao Zhan would guess his thoughts, so he quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "We are going to move to Chengdu, so you must prepare mentally first."

"We really want to move to Yizhou." Tao Zhan became concerned. This was a big deal for her. It was not moving from one mansion to another, but moving from Xiangyang to Bashu. It was a completely unfamiliar place.

"I think you should get used to it. We were in Chaisang at the beginning, then moved to Wuchang and Xiangyang. It doesn't matter if you move again. You always have to follow me."

After pausing, Liu Jing smiled and said, "And the Yizhou mansion also covers a vast area, even more refined than ours. I believe you will like it."

Tao Zhan sighed in his heart. She didn't want a good environment, but she had never moved out of Jingzhou since she was a child. Even if she went to Jiangdong, she was a short visit. She used to move in Jingzhou and felt that it was not a big problem. But now she is moving to Yizhou. The customs and customs are completely different, which has certainly had a great impact on her. However, she couldn't help but nod. She nodded silently and asked again: "When will we move?"

"In another two months, we have to wait for Yizhou to stabilize."

That night, the couple returned to the water like fish, with endless affection and did not fall asleep until late at night

The next morning, Liu Jing came to the prefectural yamen official room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yin Song and several scholars busy organizing books outside. In the past, Dong Yun served as the record office to join the army, but now Dong Yun was transferred to the position of Xiangyang County, and Yin Song took over his position. Of course, Yin Song had to arrange many details according to his own habits.

"How is it, are you still used to it?" Liu Jing asked with a smile.

Everyone then found that Liu Jing was coming in and saluted. Yin Song smiled and said, "Today is the first day I came here, but fortunately, it is much simpler than I thought, and this is exactly what I expected."

"It should be said that the former Dong Shenjun and Mr. Yin are both of them. They don't like luxury and advocate simplicity. I hope Mr. can adapt to this place as soon as possible."

Yin Jing nodded, and he took another book and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is a certificate sent by Changshi Xu early in the morning. It seems that Liu Bei wanted to ask us to borrow food."

Since Liu Bei went to Hengyang County, there has been no news. Liu Jing is also very concerned about their progress. Today he plans to ask about this matter, but he did not expect to get news from Liu Bei early in the morning.

He opened the disc and looked as he walked. It said that Liu Bei's army had captured the two counties of Yulin and Cangwu. It was now in food difficulties and hoped to borrow grain from Jingzhou. The letter said that the messenger sent was Sun Qian.

Liu Jing stopped and turned around and ordered: "Go and inform him of Xu Changshi and ask him to bring Liu Bei's envoy to see me."

Liu Jing walked into his official room and sat down. A book boy served him tea. He slowly drank tea, but he was thinking about Liu Bei. He always had a more contradictory mentality about Liu Bei. On the one hand, he hoped that Liu Bei could transform Jiaozhou for him and turn Jiaozhou into a place of Chineseization.

Since ancient times, Jiaozhou has not been valued by the central court because of its remoteness. However, Liu Bei has taken Jiaozhou as its foundation. Liu Bei is a representative of the northern gentry and has strong governance capabilities. With Zhuge Liang's assistance, he believes that Liu Bei can completely change the barbaric and backward appearance of Jiaozhou.

But on the other hand, Liu Jing was also a little worried that Liu Bei would become a big deal, and this conflicting mood had always troubled him. At this time, a Shu Zuo reported at the door: "Qi Bingzhou Governor, Xu Changshi came with Liu Bei's envoy."

"Please come in"
