Of course, Liu Jing knew why Mrs. Zhurong gave her this precious gem. It was because she was considering the future of the barbarians and was willing to solve the poverty of the barbarians. Mrs. Zhurong was so grateful and did not hesitate to give her the most precious identity mark. It seemed that Mrs. Zhurong sincerely hoped that the barbarians could be as rich as the Han people. I believe that the barbarian king Meng Huo, who is a real woman, can also see the simple side of the barbarians from this.

However, at this time, Liu Jing was more interested in this string of gems, and he smiled and said, "Why is it called Moon Stone? I think it is better to call it Bingliang Stone."

Tao Zhan shook his head, "This is the general who doesn't understand. One of the stones contains stone essence. If everyone wants to find this kind of stone essence, wouldn't it be possible to destroy all the stone beans in the hole? I heard from my grandfather that this kind of stone essence must be searched at night to see it."

Speaking of this, Tao Zhan ordered the maids on both sides and said, "Download all the lights."

All the lights were turned off, and the moon beads on the table were shining with a clear blue light, illuminating the entire Fengyi Pavilion, including the maids. Everyone exclaimed. Tao Zhan’s two-year-old son Liu Zhi ran over excitedly, reached out to grab the beads on the table, and shouted in a slight voice: "Mom, give it to me quickly."

"Little guy, don't do it randomly"

Tao Zhan grabbed the girl, slapped him on his little butt, and handed him to the wet nurse, then smiled at the maid and said, "Light the light."

When the lights turned on, the pearl returned to its original crystal color. Liu Jing nodded and said, "Because you can see it in the crystal clear stone at night, it is called Moon Stone. I think it should be a kind of fluorescent stone, which is not surprising."

Tao Zhan said disdainfully, "You underestimate the barbarians and also underestimate our Tao family. If it is fluorescent stone, would we care about it? It is not because it shines in the stone, but because the barbarians think it is part of the collapse of the moon, so they call it Moon Stone. It is not only rare, but it has always been as cool as ice. Even in the midsummer, it is the same. Which gem in the world can make the barbarians worship the moon, so they regard this string of gems as their tribe. They cannot wear it unless they are king's wife. General, I cannot ask for this string of gems, please return it to Mrs. Zhurong."

Tao Zhan pushed the gem to her husband, and then the confidant maid went to get a few of his own accessories and handed them to Liu Jing. "The gems were given to Mrs. Zhurong. These accessories were my wish to thank her. I was not inconvenient to me, so I won't accompany you to meet them."

Liu Jing did not answer, shook his head and said, "Mrs. Zhurong is going to come to your house to pay homage to you tomorrow. Just meet her. If you don't want this gem, you will give it to her in person tomorrow. If I give it to them on a formal occasion, I will be very rude to them."

Tao Zhan thought about it and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give it to her tomorrow."

After everyone had supper, they talked for a while, and then they went back to the yard. Liu Jing accompanied Cai Shaoyu to take a slow walk by the lake. The willows swaying by the lake, the cool breeze blew, the lake water sparkled, and the insects around him played nocturne, which was particularly quiet. The moonlight was very good tonight, shining on the mirror-like surface, and a full moon was reflected in the water.

"Will your wife be nice to you?" Liu Jing asked softly.

Cai Shaoyu walked slowly along the lakeside path with her hands behind her back. She nodded gently, "She is very kind to me and has arranged everything in every way. Moreover, she is kind-hearted and far more tolerant than me. It is your blessing to have such a wife."

"Don't you think you have changed too, I still remember what you were like in the past."

"What was I like before?"

Cai Shaoyu asked him with her head tilted, "You have to tell the truth."

"To be honest, I should be arrogant and willful. I just have a headache when I want to marry such a woman."

Cai Shaoyu didn't say anything. She walked to the lake and stared at the full moon in the lake. After a while, she sighed softly, but Liu Jing walked to her side, gently put her shoulders on her, and said softly: "But now you are not. You are mature, you have become quiet and polite, and you are a little sentimental, and I like it a little bit."

Cai Shaoyu's heart softened, she slowly snuggled in Liu Jing's arms, looking up at him, "Do you... really like me?"

Liu Jing lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "If I don't like you, I won't take you home."

A crystal clear look surged in Cai Shaoyu's eyes. She lowered her head and whispered for a while: "You don't like me, but you pity me and sympathize with me."

Tears rustled down, and her voice became choked, "Do you know I have been living in regret. I shouldn't have promised to marry him. I actually like you, but I don't know that until that night, when he wanted to kill me, you saved me from him, I realized that I would live in regret for the rest of my life."

Liu Jing lifted her chin and gently wiped away the tears from her face for her. Finally, she couldn't help but kiss her lips. Cai Shaoyu was shocked. The emotions she suppressed in her heart suddenly burst out. She hugged Liu Jing's neck tightly, and she burst into tears while kissing him desperately. Finally, she threw herself into Liu Jing's arms and cried loudly, "Please... don't drive me away, I'm willing to serve you as a cow and a horse, I... really have no place to go."

Liu Jing gently stroked her hair, and he remembered Zhao Yun's evaluation of himself. You are good at everything, but your heart is soft. Liu Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was really soft-hearted, or he still had a little bit of lust.

At this time, as if he felt it, he glanced back from the corner of his eyes and saw a lantern coming from a distance. It was someone coming.

He gently separated Cai Shaoyu, looked back and saw that it was his wife's maid A Xiang, "What's the matter?" Liu Jing asked.

A Xiang saw Liu Jing and Miss Cai hugging each other from afar. She was scared and said tremblingly: "There is a guest in the front hall asking for a meeting, and the wife asked her to come to find the master."

"Who is it"

"It seems to be Mr. Jia."

It turned out to be Jia Xu, Liu Jing nodded, "I understand, let's go now, you can go back first."

A Xiang turned around and ran away in a panic. Liu Jing smiled at Cai Shaoyu and said, "I have important guests, so I'll send you back first."

Cai Shaoyu nodded, "General, even if he goes to receive guests, I can go back by myself."

She turned around and headed west, which seemed not to be the direction of her courtyard. Liu Jing smiled and called her, "It seems that he had gone wrong."

"I'm not wrong. I'll go to my wife's place. She'll be about to give birth these days. There can't be no one at night. We have agreed that I'll accompany her tonight."

Cai Shaoyu smiled and turned around and rushed towards A Xiang quickly, "A Xiang, wait for me."

The lantern in front stopped. Cai Shaoyu caught up with A Xiang and walked away to the west courtyard together. At this time, Cai Shaoyu's steps also became much lighter, as if a heavy rock had been thrown from her heart.

Liu Jing watched their backs disappear, then shook his head and walked towards the front yard, and walked into the yard of the outer study room. The door of the outer study room was open, and a large light overflowed from the room. You could see Jia Xu's thin back.

Liu Jing quickly walked into the room and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since the military advisor was waiting."

Since conquering Yizhou, Liu Jing has made a small division of labor, asking Jia Xu to be in charge of Jingzhou and Sima Yi to be in charge of Yizhou. Of course, it does not refer to government affairs, but security. The security of Jingzhou is in Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the east, and Liu Bei in the south. The security of Yizhou mainly lies in the inside, and the barbarians in the south also need to be paid attention to.

As for the Northern Expedition, Fa Zheng and Pang Tong followed Liu Jing. After the first Northern Expedition failed, Liu Jing did not add the responsibility to Pang Tong and Fa Zheng, but admitted that it was because of his lack of preparation. However, when preparing for the second Northern Expedition, Liu Jing brought Jia Xu and Sima Yi into the decision-making circle.

Jia Xu stood up and apologized: "I've disturbed the provincial governor to rest."

"It's okay, please sit down"

The two sat down, and a maid came in to offer tea. Liu Jing picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said to Jia Xu: "This time I went to Lingling County on the Eastern Tour. I got some news from Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang was indeed good. He led his army to sweep Jiaozhou. The Shixie brothers can only guard Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan County. Now Liu Bei has moved all his subordinates and families to Fanyu. I guess Shixie will come to me soon for help."

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about whether we should help Shixie and make him capable of confronting Liu Bei. I heard that Sima Yi also made this suggestion to the provincial governor, but it was rejected by the provincial governor. Does the provincial governor really hope that Liu Bei will unify Jiaozhou and rebuild the Nanyue Kingdom?"

"Maybe it's because I think differently from Sima and Junshi Jia. I always think that Liu Bei's enemy is not Shi Xie, but the geography and natives of Nanyue. Even if Liu Bei destroys Shi Xie, he will have to spend decades, or even generations of hard work to govern Nanyue. More importantly, Liu Bei is a Han clan. No matter what he is, he will not betray the Han Dynasty. It is precisely this point that when we accept Nanyue in the future, it will be legitimate. On the contrary, Shi Xie is the force that truly threatens the Han Dynasty to unify Nanyue, so I support Liu Bei to destroy Shi Xie to eliminate future troubles."

"Kezhou Mu has considered whether Liu Bei will form an alliance with Sun Quan?"

Liu Jing laughed, "If Sun Quan goes to form an alliance with Liu Bei, it will undoubtedly be a scam with the tiger. Don't worry, the military advisor. Sun Quan personally told me that Jiangdong will not go west again. Their strategy for the next ten years is to fight south and seize Jiaozhou. We have reached a consensus. I have ordered Liao Li to go to the South China Sea again and tell Liu Bei about the consensus between me and Sun Quan, so that Liu Bei can make preparations in advance."

Jia Xu nodded and smiled, "The provincial governor's methods are getting more and more experienced."

Liu Jing also sighed, "It's ashamed to say that I was too hasty to seize Guanzhong, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition. In fact, I should listen to the opinions of the military advisor more."

"I came to the prefecture for the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong today."

Jia Xu took out a book from his arms, "This is the strategy I formulated for the Northern Expedition to Guanzhong. It is divided into strategic strategies, tactical strategies and strategic strategies. Please take a look at the provincial governor when he has time."

Liu Jing was excited and hurriedly took the book. He began to read it impatiently. He trusted Jia Xu very much, and the plan that Jia Xu came up with must be a clever plan.

But after reading a few pages, Liu Jing frowned slightly, "Is it going to take years to win Guanzhong?"
