Silence, deathly silence!
"Ha, ha, ha, Brother Shen is really humorous."
Wu Xian's smile looked very forced at the moment, but his words were unanimously recognized by everyone - this was definitely Shen Youli's trick! They would rather believe that Zhao Feng is a burly girl than that Shen Youli is a woman. It's impossible
of!
However, Cui Xiao just looked at Wu Xian seriously and calmly.
Smiling, Wu Xian couldn't laugh at all, and his smile turned into uncontrollable twitching of nerves at the corners of his mouth: "Is this true?"
Cui Xiaodao: "These are the Lord's exact words."
After a pause: "It's also the truth."
Wu Xian was completely silent, as if he had been hit by the "Speech Suppression and Stealing the Voice" spell. No one in the audience could utter a single word. Only the words "Shen Youli is actually a woman" kept swirling in their minds.
"This, how is this possible?"
"How is this impossible? If my lord is not a woman, how can General Zhao's daughter practice?" Although he is still unclear about the real reason why women can suddenly practice, he is sure that it has something to do with his lord Shen Tang, so it doesn't matter.
wrong.
Cui Xiao just said an extremely ordinary thing, but it was like a seed taking root and sprouting in the fertile soil of suspicion, and instantly grew into a towering tree. Because of Zhao Wei, Wu Xian began to guess Zhao Feng, and Xu Jie had something to hide from him, but he also
It's just a guess that they only concealed the fact that "Zhao Wei is a woman but can practice".
As the father of Zhao Wei, Zhao Feng was worried that his daughter would be treated as a heretic and chose to hide it, which was understandable; Xu Jie, as the head of the Xu family, was smooth and did not want to easily offend Zhao Feng because of this matter, so he also chose to hide it.
It also makes sense.
They just didn't take the initiative to explain.
but--
Zhao Wei only started practicing after going to Longwu. As insiders, did Zhao Feng and Xu Jie really not become suspicious or investigate?
What did they find out in the end?
Do they really not know that Shen Youli is a woman?
If you knew it, why didn't you reveal the slightest bit of information?
Contents that had not been taken to heart before and had not been studied in detail popped up uncontrollably - Zhao Feng served under Shen Tang for several years in repayment of his kindness without any complaints; Xu Jie had a close business relationship with Shen Tang and even let his cousin
Xu Quan came to serve her.
To sum up, it is quite normal not to disclose the news.
Although his heart was racing, there was no flaw on Wu Xian's face, except for a forced smile: "I see, that's it, Wu really made a mistake and didn't know that 'Brother Shen' who is good at fighting is 'Mei Shen'"
'..."
When he thought back to Shen Tang's face, his thoughts were complicated - that face was the most standard female appearance, why had he always called him "Brother Shen" before? It wasn't the Wen Xin monogram!
Wu Xian rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, tired!
In the past two days, half of the staff advocated severe punishment because of Zhao Feng's incident. Wu Xian was asked to give an attitude. He made an excuse and said that he would make a decision after returning to Tianhai. He hoped to delay the time. The reason was also normal - Huang Lie's troops were temporarily repulsed.
But there is still the possibility of a comeback. Before Shen Tang's reinforcements arrive, there is still the possibility of a confrontation between the two armies. How can Zhao Feng be punished as a general?
This move is bound to shake the morale of the military and is detrimental to the overall situation!
If it were Qin Li's family, no matter how angry they were, they would choose to understand and put aside their personal hatred for the time being. However, Tianhai's family refused to accept this trick. Of course they knew that now was not a good time to attack, but they knew better.
The longer this matter is delayed, the harder it will be to deal with it. For example, if Zhao Feng has made great contributions during this period, does this matter outweigh the merits?
Huh, this is not over yet!
They talked to Wu Xian one after another.
Although it was not a riot, it still put Wu Xian under great pressure, and the last straw was when a few commanders and dozens of soldiers took the lead in making trouble. They hoped that Wu Xian would be fair and impartial and not ignore military camp discipline.
Indulge the traitor.
[We are fighting for our lives against the enemy, but Zhao is doing this behind the scenes. How can such a villain be a general? 】
【Yeah, maybe one day we will lose our lives!】
[A man named Zhao is unworthy of being a general!]
【It’s really embarrassing to follow such a person!】
[I sincerely ask the Lord to seek justice——]
How could the soldiers at the bottom know the cause and effect of this matter? They only knew that Zhao Feng had killed one of their own people. In addition, these corps commanders were the people they were most familiar with. Many of them were from the same village, even more so than the general Zhao Feng.
It's more intimate. Who can believe it? It's obvious at a glance. Under the instigation of these soldiers, more passionate soldiers stood on the ground and risked their lives to demand justice.
Although the scope was small, Wu Xian also saw signs of mutiny.
In addition, Tianhai's civil and military officials were pressing harder and harder, some were playing emotional cards, and some were using both soft and hard tactics. Wu Xian was under pressure and could only punish Zhao Feng at this time and give him an explanation.
Originally, it was necessary to strike two hundred blows with the military cane in front of all the soldiers, but after Wu Xian bargained, the matter was done privately, and the number was reduced to one hundred. Zhao Feng was strong, and such a flesh wound could be recuperated in three to five days.
Return to normal and will not be life-threatening.
However, after this incident, Zhao Feng's prestige in the army was greatly reduced.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to unite the troops in the future.
Wu Xian knew it, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At the same time, he also realized that the old people in Tianhai were more united than he thought. If they could unite to the outside world, it didn't matter how close they were, but uniting to force him made Wu Xian very dissatisfied. For the first time, he thought of repairing it well.
thoughts.
After finally dealing with Zhao Feng's matter, the true genders of Zhao Feng's daughter and Shen Youli were revealed one after another, and he also discovered that Zhao Feng and Xu Jie had an affair...
If it was normal, Wu Xian would have had an attack long ago.
At this moment, all he could do was swallow the matter back in his stomach.
After all, Tianhai and Long Wu still need to form an alliance to fight Huang Lie and others together. Compared with survival, these are not important.
Wu Xian received Cui Xiao and others with a smile, and carefully inquired about Shen Tang's situation and inquired about her current number of soldiers and horses. Cui Xiao seemed not to notice, and responded calmly, saying nothing that should be said, and remaining tight-lipped about what should not be said. For a moment,
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Unfortunately, some people were not happy.
Wu Xian held a banquet and entertained Cui Xiao and others with a small amount of wine. The military commander who had stirred up trouble earlier stared at his sinister eyes as big as copper bells and said in a strange way: "Messenger Cui seemed to have said before that 'Cui once served Duke Wu'. I don't know when it was."
things."
It was Cui Xiao who asked, but it was Qin Li who looked at him.
Cui Xiao seemed to be unable to see the light and shadow of the sword, and gently shook his sword and fan: "Cui will serve as long as Gong Su surrenders to Wu Gong."
The general said "ha" in a disdainful tone.
He said aggressively: "Oh? Seriously? When did Messenger Cui defect to Lord Shen? He didn't even say hello. After all, we have worked together for so many years. If Messenger Cui has a better place to go, my lord will naturally not
Will stop it."
Gong Xiqiu and others listened with great interest to his words.
Look, who said that brave warriors are not good at brain power?
This man who carries a gun and a stick, has a sinister attitude, and has a knack for hiding his sword in his smile is no weaker than the ordinary literati.
All I have to do is make it clear that Cui Xiao is cheating.
Running away without saying hello is nothing but betrayal.
Cui Xiao chuckled and raised his eyebrows. He did not mean to be angered by the other party, and showed no shame on his face: "Oh, Cui submitted his resignation right after the battle across the Miaojiang River... But Mr. Wu was busy with everything, so he didn't notice it.
normal……"
You may not believe it, but Cui Xiao really went through the process.
But he also knew that his resignation letter, like the suggestions he had written before, had not been taken into consideration by Wu Xian.
Can you blame him for this?
Wu Xian was named: "......???"
No, has he received Cui Xiao's resignation?
For a moment, Wu Xian was on pins and needles. He really didn't know this, but he couldn't say it clearly: "There is indeed Shan Xiao's resignation, but I didn't expect Shan Xiao to choose Brother Shen... sister."
No, he still has to say yes.
The general sneered: "It's quite urgent to go."
After he finished speaking, a person next to him helped to speak: "Jun Shen has a reputation for benevolence. It is normal for Messenger Cui to choose her... I just don't know why he suddenly wants to leave?"
Are you dissatisfied with Wu Gong? Is it Cui Shanxiao’s unique dissatisfaction, or is it the opinion of most of Qin Li’s family?
Still targeting Qin Li.
Cui Xiaodao: "Although it was to overthrow the tyrants, the Allied forces ignored the dissuasion and froze the Miao River, artificially creating extreme floods, causing the lower reaches of the Miao River to surge, and floods in Yanzhou, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless and displaced...
...Forgive me for speaking frankly, but people with different principles cannot work together! What's wrong with Cui having the intention to leave?"
The man said: "Mr. Shen is also among the allies."
Cui Xiao: "My lord was not present at that time, and the head of his tent, Kang Jishou, also argued hard, but no one spoke lightly. After Cui left, he did not seek refuge with Lord Shen. He only met Shen by chance when he was fleeing with the refugees.
You, accept his recruitment."
Wu Xian: "..."
Although he didn't say anything, he just felt that he was being scolded. Seeing the reluctance of his subordinates, he interrupted the topic. Because the gloom on his face almost overflowed, and the people below him also saw it.
Accepted and did not continue to provoke.
This meal made Wu Xian extremely depressed.
The wheat rice in the bowl was louder than ever before.
After the banquet was over, Wu Xian sent people to arrange reinforcements.
Cui Xiao also had a separate tent. He took off his socks and wanted to sit down and soak his feet. Zhao Wei's voice asking for permission came from outside the tent. He put on his socks again: "Dawei, come in."
Zhao Wei opened the tent door, his eyes were red.
"Uncle Cui..."
The tall niece wrung her fingers with her hands, her mouth was slumped and her eyes were red, and tears seemed to be pouring out of her eyes in the next second.
Cui Xiao: "..."
He was somewhat nostalgic for his petite, delicate, lively and bright little niece many years ago. The Zhao Wei in front of him looked like a fierce bandit who could rush up and punch Bang Bang twice if he was unhappy.
He rubbed his temples with a headache: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Wei pursed his lips: "My niece is worried about her father..."
"so?"
"Uncle Cui, will you take me to visit him?"
Cui Xiao said nothing to this. After a while, the shadow above his head shrouded him. His eldest niece tugged on his wide sleeves and begged carefully: "Please, Uncle Cui, okay -"
The eyes blink and blink and blink.
Cui Xiao raised his knife fan to cover his face: "Don't you even look at where this place is? If you go to see Dayi, it will only make his situation more difficult. That's all - Uncle Cui will take you to see him now. However, you
If you are beaten by him, don’t come and ask for help.”
Hearing that his visit would make his father's situation more difficult, Zhao Wei originally gave up the idea, but later he was worried that he would get the upper hand.
"I knew Uncle Cui was the best to me."
She was as happy as a two-hundred-pound rabbit.
Cui Xiao: "..."
Just in case, he also brought Gong Xiqiu with him, but Xu Quan followed him as soon as he smelled the smell, not saying anything, and smiling shyly from time to time. Looking at the two heads full of pigtails, Cui Quan
Xiao doesn’t understand the Xu family’s aesthetics. Is the Xu family boy stupid?
When they arrived, Zhao Feng's camp was very lively.
Opening the curtain, there are more than a dozen people in the tent.
Zhao Feng was lying on the couch with his upper body bare, and wound medicine had been applied to his back. Although there was blood oozing out from time to time, it was not as scary as in the afternoon. When he saw Zhao Wei, he was so anxious that he had to stand up.
"Dawei!"
Other old brothers in the tent also looked over.
The solemn atmosphere was swept away, and the joy instantly relaxed.
"Haha, is this Dawei?"
"Why is my eldest niece called Dawei?"
"Da Yi, if you don't know how to choose a good word for Wei'er, you can't ask Gong Su or the others for advice. What's the name of a daughter's family called Da Wei?" Everyone unanimously attacked Zhao Feng, but the word must be engraved on the Wu Danhu Talisman for life. This
How to get people to take action?
Zhao Feng was so angry that he beat the couch: "It's not me!"
"Who is that?"
Xu Quan froze with a silly smile and wanted to retreat.
Normally, Zhao Wei would have definitely arrested Xu Quan and let all the uncles and uncles put him on trial, but she was not in such a mood at the moment. She looked at Zhao Feng with tears in her eyes, her tears falling down, and she would risk it if she didn't pay attention.
Snot bubbles appeared.
"Father...wuwuwu..."
Zhao Feng looked at the lines of his daughter's arms outlined in her elegant outfit. The muscles were not as exaggerated as those of male warriors, but anyone with a discerning eye would not doubt the explosive power under the muscles. She wiped her tears with such arms, and Zhao Feng felt his eyes hurt inexplicably.
"Why are you crying? I'm not dead!"
"But those last few sticks were really deadly..."
Zhao Wei was really frightened at that time.
Zhao Feng waved his hand: "It's really okay. You're fine."
If he was really beaten to death, it would be Tianhai's turn to stage a mutiny by those villains, and they would overturn the table themselves.
"How did Shanxiao bring Dawei here?"
Cui Xiao sneered: "Can I stop your daughter?"
Zhao Feng gave up his strength and lay back, sighing.
Cui Xiao looked at his injuries and gloated: "You could have avoided such a beating. I told you before that if a woman endures and gives in again and again, what she gets in return is not the understanding of her husband's family, but the understanding of her husband's family.
After a quick meal, do you believe it now?"
Many couples in the private sector still fight each other in domestic violence, but Zhao Feng was beaten unilaterally, which is worse than others.
Zhao Feng held back his anger.
He said angrily: "Go, go, go -"
Of course Cui Xiao wouldn't leave, he just came to see Zhao Feng lively. Others only knew that Cui Xiao was gone, but they didn't know that he had joined Shen Tang. If it was before, they might have complained about Wu Xian, but now they all
Congratulations to Cui Xiao for his hard work.
but--
"Is Mr. Shen really a woman?"
Cui Xiaodao: "The goods are genuine."
Everyone was lamenting, and no one said anything negative.
If Shen Tang's talents were withering, perhaps the outside world would be full of crusade against heretics, but now that she is getting more and more mature, she seems to have the capital to have the last laugh, and she is easily comparable to the fifteenth-level junior high school, and her gender is different.
Another weakness.
Even because of Zhao Wei, everyone still has a good impression.
The others were all talking, but Qin Li was silent.
Cui Xiao's eyes met with his, and they exchanged glances.
Qin Li's palms were slightly warm, and writing appeared on his face.
【What are your plans next?】
【Let’s wait for an opportunity.】
The next day, the scouts reported that the enemy troops had withdrawn last night.
