Wei and Jin did not submit to Zhou

Chapter 126 A Dreamlike Encounter
The letter that Shi Shouxin wrote to Liu Shan was actually Liu Shan's "accusation" against Deng Ai, saying that Deng Ai wanted to support him as the emperor of Shu Han and restore the country.

In short, Deng Ai wanted to rebel, but Liu Shan did not, so he reported it directly to Zhong Hui.

In this case, Shi Shouxin's act of defying his superiors and taking Liu Shan to the capital would be both reasonable and in accordance with proper procedures.

As for what comes first and what comes later, it doesn't matter; things have already turned out this way.

If Liu Shan would rather be beaten to death than copy and stamp such a letter, then it would be much less persuasive.

Therefore, this is the final and most crucial step in Shi Shouxin's plan, like the final kick before the goal. No matter how brilliant the passing and dribbling, to score, you have to shoot!
"General Liu, I found that poem of varying lengths that you wrote, reminiscing about your homeland and the glory of being an emperor, and showed it to Liu Yue."

You're not going to go back on your word, are you?

Shi Shouxin looked at Liu Shan with an unfriendly expression and asked.

"Sentences of varying lengths? What are those?"

Liu Shan was momentarily stunned and stumped by Shi Shouxin's question.

Shi Shouxin immediately gave an order to his personal guards, and soon Liu Yue was brought in.

"Where will the spring flowers and autumn moon end? Write that poem down from memory and show it to your father. You should still remember it, right?"

Shi Shouxin gave Liu Yue instructions.

Liu Yue met his gaze and understood the emotions in his eyes—a look of disappointment mixed with suppressed anger.

She smiled slightly and nodded gently to Shi Shouxin, indicating that she understood.

Liu Yue sat down and wrote the poem in varying lengths on a piece of white paper on the table.

After reading this, Liu Shan frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.

Putting everything else aside, the line "I can't bear to look back at my homeland under the bright moon" alone made Liu Shan's eyelids twitch wildly!
After finishing the dictation, Liu Yue stepped aside and, taking advantage of Liu Chan's inattention, secretly squeezed Shi Shouxin's large hand.

"This... wasn't written by Liu."

Liu Shan spoke calmly, but his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Having been emperor for decades, he naturally understood everything, but he simply didn't want to submit so quickly.

"I said you wrote it, so you wrote it."

Shi Shouxin emphasized this point, and Liu Shan responded with silence. As long as he refused to admit it, it wasn't really a big deal.

What's fake is fake.

"You are very brave, General Liu."

Shi Shouxin sneered, picked up a brush from the brush holder, and wrote another poem on the paper:
When autumn comes on September th, when my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed.

The incense soars through Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.

This poem is very fitting, because the target of Shu Han's northern expedition was Guanzhong! And Chang'an was the core of Guanzhong!

Upon seeing this, Liu Shan broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Liu Yue gave Shi Shouxin a wink, signaling him to step back a little.

Shi Shouxin sighed softly and retreated to the doorway.

Liu Yue leaned down and whispered something in Liu Chan's ear for a long time. It was unclear what she said, but soon she walked to the entrance of the military tent and nodded to Shi Shouxin.

A smile graced his face, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

That smiling face was like the spring sunshine, warm and full of vitality.

"General Shi, I, Liu, will copy this letter verbatim and affix my seal. Please don't try to scare me. I'm almost sixty years old and can't take any more frights."

Liu Shan smiled wryly at Shi Shouxin.

"It's my duty, and I have no choice but to do it. Please!"
Write in your everyday tone; you don't have to copy every single word exactly.

Shi Shouxin took the paper with the seditious poem written on it from the table and replaced it with another piece of paper for Liu Shan.

Liu Shan picked up his pen and began to write on the paper. During this time, Liu Yue kept exchanging glances with Shi Shouxin, and it was very clear what she was trying to say.

Shi Shouxin thought to himself: This sweet and plump grape is ripe and can be picked.

Liu Shan, who reigned as emperor for decades, was certainly a first-rate writer, regardless of his other abilities.

He quickly copied the letter in his own words and then stamped it with his personal seal.

After the ink dried, Liu Shan handed the paper to Shi Shouxin and asked humbly, "What does General Shi think?"

"Very good, General Liu, you must be tired from your journey. I will arrange a military tent for you to rest in right away."

"Rest well during the day. I'll come to see you tonight; it's very important!"

Shi Shouxin spoke to Liu Shan with a solemn and unsmiling expression.

Liu Shan nodded slightly. Now he was at the mercy of others, unable to do whatever he wanted and could only obey orders.

After handing Liu Shan over to Li Liang to take away, Shi Shouxin looked at Liu Yue and smiled, "Thank you. Without you, your father wouldn't have agreed so quickly."

"It's not a big deal..."

Liu Yue said somewhat shyly.

Shi Shouxin beckoned to her, signaling her to follow him. The two arrived at Shi Shouxin's sleeping tent. Liu Yue seemed to realize what was about to happen, and a blush appeared on her face.

I felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you."

Shi Shouxin said softly.

Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had made preparations, she was still a little... her body couldn't help but tremble when the moment came.

“You’ve been worried about your father these days. I think a woman who worries about her father, no matter how bad she is, can’t be that bad.”

Shi Shouxin praised Liu Yue.

She was willing to divorce her husband and shoulder the burden alone. She was also willing to take risks for her father and write to him to persuade him to avoid trouble.

I think you're great, I really like you.

Shi Shouxin praised Liu Yue again.

The young woman's face lit up with surprise. She hadn't expected that Shi Shouxin, who had previously been so indifferent, would speak so highly of her.

Liu Yue lowered her head, not daring to look at Shi Shouxin. Her mind was a jumbled mess, devoid of any thought except for the word "like." She vaguely sensed that she would soon be devoured by Shi Shouxin, feeling a mix of joy, anticipation, guilt, and unease.

My body gradually became restless.

"When I asked you if you wanted to commit suicide, you said no."

Shi Shouxin said softly.

As he spoke, he began to undress Liu Yue. The young woman's breathing quickened, but she kept her eyes tightly shut and offered no resistance.

"Later I asked you if you wanted to go back to your ex-husband's house, and you refused with silence."

As they spoke, Liu Yue had already turned into a snow-white lamb, slowly lying down on the bed. She looked at Shi Shouxin with hazy eyes, as if she were drunk.

Her young body was as white as jade, and she looked like a goddess who had fallen to earth.

It's blasphemous to even glance at it, yet it drives people crazy with fascination!
"You don't want any of these, does that mean you want to be my woman?"

If you just say you want her, I'll take you into my room, and you'll be my woman from now on.

No one but me can touch you.

Shi Shouxin leaned down and asked Liu Yue in her ear, his voice domineering and possessive, captivating her.

"Ah Lang, I want to be your woman, hurry up and love me, hurry up, um..."

Liu Yue murmured softly, her arms already wrapped around Shi Shouxin's neck, preventing him from escaping the bed.

Liu Yue knew that she had completely fallen for him and become the spoils of the man in front of her.

But deep down, I didn't dislike it at all; in fact, I was overjoyed.

……

It was completely dark outside, and the military tent where Shi Shouxin lived was pitch black. The naked young woman clung to him tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

"Is Ah Lang going to the central army to find Zhong Hui?"

Liu Yue asked weakly, her body limp as mud, her voice languid and satisfied.

"Well, go now."

As Shi Shouxin spoke, he fumbled for a tinderbox and then lit the oil lamp in the military tent.

In the dim light, what a beautiful woman on the bed!

This was Shi Shouxin's first time indulging in lewdness in broad daylight, but it was all worth it.

"Ah Lang, will you send me away in the future?"

In the dim light, Liu Yue's face showed a hint of sorrow as she asked in a low voice, her tone tinged with nervousness. Her young and beautiful face was faintly streaked with tears, making her look pitiful.

Shi Shouxin stroked her hair and said, "How could that be? You will bear my children in the future. Am I supposed to send the mother away?"

"Hmm, are you coming back tonight?"

Liu Yue asked again, and she seemed to lack a sense of security.

"You're back. You should rest now."

Shi Shouxin had already dressed and tidied himself up before leaving the military tent.

After he left, Liu Yue couldn't help but sigh and say:
"Liu Yue, you've really become a slut."

A hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed across her face, then turned into a helpless sigh. No one forced her to make love in bed; it was all of her own free will.

Being intimate with Shi Shouxin was so enjoyable and fun that she couldn't help but wonder if she was a "bad woman".

In the midst of confusion and intoxication, I said things I shouldn't have said and did things I shouldn't have done; I was not myself at all.

At this moment, Liu Yue felt a little ashamed. She did want to be intimate with Shi Shouxin, out of admiration for the strong, out of hope for a good ending, out of lust for Shi Shouxin's handsome appearance, out of gratitude, and out of wanting to leave a way out for her father.

There are all sorts of thoughts involved, making it difficult to generalize.

However, Liu Yue did not want to be so dissolute. Her upbringing was not meant to teach her to be as unrestrained as she was tonight.

But she couldn't help it; she just couldn't resist! Once they got intimate, she couldn't control herself.

Liu Yue and her ex-husband Fei Gong were not very intimate in the past, mainly because she didn't feel anything for each other and therefore wasn't interested.

Once this woman meets a man who makes her happy, she instantly rises up like water vapor, almost floating to the sky.

"There's no going back, nothing is ever the same again."

Liu Yue slowly smoothed her long black hair and muttered to herself, "My past self, my past life, seem to be fading into the distance."

……

The Wei army's central tent, where Zhong Hui was located, was surrounded by torches, and many personal guards were on duty there, as if facing a formidable enemy.

After Shi Shouxin reported the news, Qiu Jian led him into the military tent.

At this moment, Zhong Hui is drinking alcohol and looks like he has given up on treatment.

The large number of personal guards stationed in front of the gate is probably out of fear of a mutiny.

Actually, this possibility is quite high.

"Luoyang Shi Gandang, come, come, drink with me!"

Zhong Hui, in his unrestrained manner, patted the table and beckoned Shi Shouxin to come over and drink with him.

"Grand Commander, I have an extremely urgent matter to report to you privately!"

Shi Shouxin bowed respectfully to Zhong Hui with a solemn expression.

"You all go and get busy."

Zhong Hui, reeking of alcohol, waved to Qiu Jian and the others standing to the side.

Once everyone had left, Zhong Hui immediately sat up straight, his expression becoming calm, no longer displaying the ugly behavior he had just displayed.

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhong Hui's eyes flashed like lightning as he looked at Shi Shouxin and asked.
